Why the Sun chases the Moon

by Jeff

Once upon a time, the Sun asked the Moon to marry him. They made love and had so many children—the little twinkling stars. The Sun dearly loved his children but whenever he tries to embrace them they get burned up because he was too hot and fiery. This angered the Moon; of course, she did not want to lose any of her little children, thus she forbade his husband, the Sun, to touch their children.

One day, the Moon went to look for some of their missing children. She left the rest of the little ones to the Sun, so he could look after them while they were playing. The Sun, without the Moon to stop him, once more felt ablazed with endearment for his beautiful children and embraced them. One by one, they burned to ashes and disappeared. When the Moon came back, she raved at the horrible sight and threw stones at the Sun. To stop her, the Sun threw sand at her face.

The Moon was so mad that she ran away without even saying goodbye. The Sun felt bad, and realized that he still loves her so he started running after her. Sadly, she was already too far away; that whenever he reached the place where she stayed during the night, she was already gone.

Their chase still goes on up to this day. And, up to now, we could still see her scars.

Well, their missing children came back.
