Go Away,Sun!

Go Away, Sun!

" Go away, Sun! " said Jackrabbit. " You're too bright, and I can't find any shade to rest in. "

Sun's feelings were hurt. He moved west in the sky. As he moved above the cottonwood trees, he created shade in the grass below. " Much better, " said Jackrabbit. She flattened her ears against her back and lay down to rest.

“ Go away, Sun! " said Rattlesnake. " Your strong rays have made this rock too hot to lie on. "

Sun began to feel gloomy. He hid his face in the clouds and began to cry. Tears of sadness fell from the sky, cooling the desert floor. “ Much better, " said Rattlesnake. He curled himself up in the sand and shook his rattles to warn others not to bother him.

“ Go away, Sun! " said Roadrunner. " This desert heat is far too hot. All of the animals that I'd like to eat are hiding. "
