How We Got Night and Day

How We Got Night and Day (based on a Native American legend) Long ago, the world was new. It was fresh and clean. Everyone agreed on everything. Then, the animals began to argue. Some of them wanted it to be night all the time. Others wanted it to be day all the time. They asked Bear to make the decision for them. Bear liked the night. " Let's have night all the time, " he said. But Squirrel jumped up and said, “ Look at Racoon. See the rings on his tail?One is dark, then light, then dark again. The number of dark rings is the same as the number of light rings. I say we have equal parts of night and day. "

我们的白天和黑夜怎么来的 很久以前，世界是崭新的。它是新鲜和干净的。 每个人都同意每件事。 然后，动物们开始争论起来。有些人希望一直都是晚上。另一些人则希望每天都是白天。 他们请贝尔替他们做决定。熊喜欢夜晚。“让我们一直拥有夜晚吧，”他说。 但是松鼠跳了起来，说:“看浣熊。看到它尾巴上的环了吗?一个是黑暗，然后光明，然后又黑暗。暗环的数目与光环的数目相同。要我说，我们白天和晚上的时间是相等的。”

The animals were impressed. They saw the wisdom in this. And that is how we came to have day and night.

动物们深受感动。 他们看到了其中的智慧。 所以我们才有了白天和黑夜。
