Why Was The Moon Created
Long time ago, there was only the sun that brightened the earth. The sun shone brightly all the time. It did not set and there was no night. People worked until they were too tired to work anymore.
One day, the Creator of the universe came to visit. He saw men working in fields. He realized that the people had no sense of time because there were no days and nights. He called the sun and asked it to set in the evening and rise again in the morning.
In the evening, the sun went down and it was dark. People did not understand what had happened or why it was dark. They were frightened and ran all over the place. Some of them fell down. Some fell into ditches and hurl themselves. Nobody knew what to do. Finally, their leader called out and asked people to take a rest.
People were happier. They did not work all the time. They had to stop when it got dark and they could see nothing. They got regular hours of rest and felt much better. However, there was one problem. Since they could see nothing after sunset, they often fell down, banged against trees and knocked against people. They could not see where things were kept and therefore broke things easily. It became quite chaotic!
Then, the Creator visited them once again and saw the condition. Finally, he created the moon. It rose in the sky and shone softly at night. As a result, people could see, but the light did not hurt their eyes or stop them from sleeping. They live a happier life with the sun in the day and moon at night.
What did the Creator see after he asked the sun to set in the evening?
