Sun, Moon and Water(II)

Sun, Moon and Water (II) (based on a traditional African story) Sun returned home and told his wife, Moon, what he was going to do. She agreed. And so, Sun built a very big house and invited Water for a visit. Water knocked and asked if he could come in. “ Please, my good friend, ” said the sun. " Please come in. ” Soon, the water level started rising in the house. Water's family was VERY large, indeed. “ Shall we stop now?" cried Water. " There are SO many of us and already, the water is up to your knees. " But Sun cried, " Come in, come in! Everyone is welcome in our home! ”

As more and more of the Water family entered the house, the water soon rose to the roof. Sun and Moon became frightened. Just as the water filled the entire house, they escaped and floated up high into the sky. And that is why, today, water covers the earth and the sun and moon shine down on us from the sky.
