Narrator: Many years ago, Sun and Water were great friends, and
they both lived on the Earth together.
Sun often used to visit Water, but Water never returned
the visits.
Sun: Why do you never visit me?
Water: If you want me to visit you, you will have to build a
bigger house. But I warn you that it will have to be the
biggest house on the Earth. I have lots of family and
friends and we take up a lot of room.
Narrator: Sun promised to build the biggest house on the Earth
and went to tell his wife, Moon.
Sun: I have promised to build the biggest house on the Earth
so that our friend Water and all his family and friends
can visit us.
Moon: It is the best surprise ever!
We will be happy to welcome Water and his family and
friends.
Let’s start building the biggest house on the Earth.

the other water animals. Very soon, the water was knee-
deep in the house.

Sun and Moon: Yes please come into our house! You are most welcome.
Narrator: So Water and all his family continued to flow in. When
the water was at the level of a man’s head, water spoke
again.
Water: Is it STILL safe for us to keep flowing into your house?
Sun and Moon: Yes, the more the merrier!
Narrator: So more and more of Water’s friends came in, until the
sun and the moon had to sit on top of the roof of their
house.
When the water flowed over the top of the roof, the sun
and the moon were forced to go up into the sky.
… and that is why the sun and moon live in the sky.
