Sign in with GoogleThe beautiful daughters of Mother Earth. Long ago, Mother Earth gave birth to two babies. When they were born, Mother Earth named one of them Moon and the other Sun. Mother Earth nurtured both the Sun and the Moon, rocking them in a golden cradle as they grew up together. Thus, the two beauties continued to grow. However, as the beauties blossomed, instead of love, hatred began to develop between them.
Both the Sun and the Moon were always admiring their beauty in the mirror. Yes, indeed, it was this very beauty that sparked their hatred. Both of them constantly wondered, "Who is more beautiful?" The Moon despised the Sun's radiance. The whole world shone brightly because of it, and even the Moon reflected that brilliance. Realizing that they could never get along, the Moon went to their mother, Earth, and said:
— "Mother, I cannot live with Sun; I beg you to separate us!" Upon hearing this, Mother Earth became very angry. She refused the Moon's request and, at the same time, felt deep sorrow for her daughters' future. The most terrifying thought for her was the possibility of her beautiful daughters being separated from each other. The Moon went to the Sun and said:
— "We are two separate beings. This needs to be explained to our mother, Earth! We will never be able to get along!" To which the Sun replied:
— "So you are acknowledging that I am more beautiful than you, and you want to separate from me?" Anger surged through the Moon as she confronted the Sun. In the heat of their argument, the furious Sun scratched the Moon's beautiful face. The Moon's face became heavily scarred. Seeing this, the Moon fell into deep sorrow, and her tears flowed like a river. Having lost her beauty, the Moon left without Mother Earth's permission. No matter how much the Sun searched for the Moon to apologize, he could not find her. Meanwhile, the Moon, embarrassed by her appearance, kept running away from the Sun. Despite their efforts, the sisters could not be together. It was now far too late. From that moment on, they never saw each other again. The Sun would rise when the Moon went to sleep, and the Moon would come out when the Sun went to sleep. If we do not take care of our siblings, we may also end up being separated later on.
