HOW SUN MOON AND WIND WENT TO DINNER
Once upon a time, three creatures named
Sun, Moon, and Wind went out to dinner with their Uncle Thunder and Aunt
Lightning. The three creatures were very excited about spending the evening
with their uncle and aunt and had been thinking about little else all day. Sun
and Wind spent the day arguing about who would have a better time at the
dinner.
“Aunt and Uncle more love me than you, so I'll get to sit by them,”
exclaimed Sun. “They love my bright rays.”
“That's not true,” countered Wind. “They like my breezy manner and will
definitely want to be right next to me at the dinner table.”
Then, they bickered about who would have better food and so it went on like
this all day. Meanwhile, gentle Moon kept to herself, humming and looking
forward to an evening with her beloved relatives. She also helped her mother
around the house, doing errands and helping to clean and cook.
Finally, Thunder and Lightning came for Sun, Moon, and Wind. Their mother,
who was a distant but bright star in the sky, was not going with them. Instead,
she waited alone for Sun,Wind, and Moon's return. She looked forward to hear
about their adventures.
Thunder and Lightning took the children on their backs and traveled far to
the North. When they arrived, Sun, Moon, and Wind were astonished to see a
massive granite table set with the most amazing array of food they could
imagine.
When Sun and Wind hurried to take their places next to their aunt and
uncle, Thunder want Moon to sit between Thunder and Lightning. Moon happily
complied while her siblings grumpily seated themselves.
Sun and Wind were eating so quickly. Moon sat quietly enjoying the array
and turning often to thank Thunder and Lightning for their kindness and
generosity.Eventually, Sun and Wind were stuffed and became impatient to return
home.
Aunt and Uncle implored them to be patient, so Moon could finish her meal.
But Sun and Wind put up such a fuss that at last Thunder and Lightning agreed
to take the three siblings back to their mother's home.Before back home, Moon wanted
to look one more time at the magnificent table and to take a portion of every
dish back home to her mother.
When they got home, their mother, who had kept watch for them all night
long with her little bright eye, was very happy to see them, for she had missed
her children. She asked one by one of them but they answered like didn’t care,
except Moon she answerd “It was incredible, Mother. I wish you could have been
there. Since you couldn't be there, I brought back something for you.” And from
behind her back, Moon brought forth the plate full of fanciful treats. The
mother was happy.
Sun and Wind's behavior upset their mother, Star, who had tried to teach
them to be kind creatures. So, Star turned to Sun and said, “Because you went
out to amuse yourself with your friends any thought of your mother at home, you
shall be punished. From now on your rays will be very hot, and they will burn
all that they touch. And because of this, people will hate you, complain about
your intense rays, and cover their heads when you appear.” And that is why the
Sun is so hot to this day.
Then she turned to Wind and said, “You also forgot your mother in the
middle of your selfish fun! This will be your punishment : You shall always
blow in the hot, dry weather and shall parch and shrivel all living things. And
men shall avoid you from now on.” And that is why the Wind in the hot weather
is to this day so disagreeable.
But to the kind and gentle Moon, she said, “Daughter, because you
remembered your mother and shared your abundance with her, from now on, you
shall be cool and calm and bright. All people will admire your beauty and
serenity.” And that is why the Moon's light is so soft and cool and beautiful
even to this day.
