Long ago, the Earth was the only home for all living things, including the Sun and the Moon. Unlike today, the Sun and the Moon once lived on the ground alongside humans, walking freely through forests, rivers, and villages just like any other creatures. At that time, the sky as we know it did not exist, and all beings could meet, talk, and interact with one another easily.
One day, the Sun and the Moon decided to hold a great feast, inviting all the animals of the forest, every bird from the trees, and even the smaller creatures that usually hid in the shadows. Everyone came joyfully, carrying delicious food, fruits, and treats to share. However, as the feast continued, the animals began to argue and fight over the food, bumping, pushing, and shouting at one another. The celebration quickly became chaotic and noisy, upsetting the Sun and the Moon.
The Sun, who was bright and strong but had a hot temper, felt deeply disappointed by the disorder and lack of respect among the creatures. The Moon, calm, gentle, and thoughtful, also realized that humans and animals could not live peacefully alongside the Sun and the Moon on the Earth. They understood that they needed a higher place where they could live safely, away from the confusion and conflicts below, where no one could harm or disturb them.
So, the Sun and the Moon slowly rose up into the sky, moving higher and higher until they were far above the reach of any creature on Earth. From that moment on, the Sun shines brilliantly during the day, warming and lighting the world, while the Moon appears at night, casting a soft, calming light for all to see. Through this change, humans and animals learned that while it is natural to be curious about extraordinary beings, they must respect limits and maintain a proper distance to ensure peace and harmony.
This story explains why the Sun and the Moon live in the sky today instead of remaining on the Earth. It also teaches important lessons about peaceful coexistence, respect for others, and understanding the importance of boundaries. By rising into the sky, the Sun and the Moon ensured that all living creatures could live safely, while still sharing the light, warmth, and guidance that help life thrive on Earth.
