by Daniel Errico Long ago, there was no such thing as nighttime Sun and Moon were the best of friends and they never left the sky Moon looked after the quiet oceans, and Sun shone brightly over all the land Elephant lived on the plains The sunlight made his skin very hot He tried to cool off in a mud bath, but Sun dried it up He tried fanning himself, but his ears got tired One day he called out to Sun, You dry the ground and burn my feet! I cannot stand this awful heat!
