in the olden days
there was the sun and the moon
both of them had a star children
the sun's children which were yellowish
in color
very bright and very hot
the star children of the moon however
were reddish in color and were cool
one day the moon was scared that her
stars would wither and die if they play
with the star children of the sun
the moon said
i had to do something about this
i need to think of an idea
but
what is it
[Music]
hours later he then thought of an idea
she said to herself
ah i know
i will convince son to kill her children
so that me and my children can have more
fun wandering and playing in heavens so
that i can have the peace of mind
[Music]
the next day the moon visited the sun's
place and the sun welcomed her in her
home
in the middle of their talk the moon
suggested to the sun that they kill her
children who were the cost of crowding
the heavens with their number
upon hearing this
the sun turned a little anxious and was
already confused
she doesn't know what to do
son was hesitant from killing her
children
then she said to the moon
well um i don't know
but really
if we kill my children the heavens will
not be crowded and have more space
the moon replied
yes of course then we can play more
freely with my children
there would be a lot of space for us
[Music]
days after the sun have decided and she
listened to what the moon said
then the sun killed her star children
[Music]
time have passed the sun realized what
she had done
she was full of guilt and despair
she then blamed the mood for what had
happened
the moon merely hid behind the clouds
this results to
in the evening when the clouds faded the
moon stars appeared
this
angered the sun every time she sees the
moon and her star children
so he gave chase to the moon
thus when he overtakes the moon we have
the so-called eclipse
that's why every morning the sun kills
the moon stars that she catches
serves as a revenge for what the moon
did
until now
this continues and because the moon
still continues to hit from the sun
the end
