Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky?
(A Nigerian Folk tale )


Here is the story. A long time ago, when the world was new, the Sun married the Moon and they lived as happily as can be. They lived in a little cottage near the Ocean.
You know what? One day, the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to their house for a visit. The Ocean liked it so much. He wanted to stay in a little cottage. The Sun and the Moon liked the Ocean and hoped the cottage would be big enough for all three of them.
So the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to stay with them. What happened then? Then, the Ocean came with all his friends; the whales, the fish, the tortoises, the crabs and all the creatures that live in the sea.
Oh my….. The water rose higher and higher in the cottage. Soon, there was no more room for the Sun and the Moon. Oh, how poor they were. They rose up into the sky where they have lived ever since. Well, that’s the story.

Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky?
(New Mexico version)

Long time ago, there was no day. It was always dark and always summer. This was because the Kachina, a very powerful people had stolen the Sun and the Moon and locked them away in a box. In the light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends wandered the desert.
Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt anymore because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried. He reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous to try to trick them.
In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were sleeping, Coyote and Eagle crept into their village, stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills. Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said, “No.” They must wait until their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumbled. He couldn’t wait to see what was in the box.
Finally, he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it blinded Coyote’s eyes. The Sun and the Moon laughed and flew far away, up into the sky where they are today.

Then, we can fly together.”
The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. ”This is to show that you have promised to marry me,” said the hawk. It so happened that the hen already promised to marry a rooster.

The hen was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring immediately.
When the hawk came a few months later, the hen told him that the truth. The hawk was so furious that he cursed the hen. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Now, you’ll always be scratching the earth, and I’ll be always be flying above to catch your children.” said the hawk.
A : The curse seems to have come true, doesn’t it? Thanks for the story, Mum.

“Please prepare a lot of straw and mortar. Come on! Hurry up!” said Loro Jonggrang. All those ladies-in-waiting were confused. They didn’t know why Loro Jonggrang asked them prepare a lot of straw and mortatrs in the middle of the night.
“Listen, all those genies are building the temples, right? We have to stop them by burning the straw and make a noise by pounding the mortars. The genies will think that the sun is going to rise and they will run away. Genies are afraid of sunlight.”
It worked! All those genies thought that sun rose. They didn’t know the light was from the fire that burning the straw. And the noises from pounding the mortars like start of a new day.
Bandung Bandawasa was angry. He knew Loro Jonggrang just tricked him. “You can’t fool me, Loro Jonggrang. I already have 999 temples. I just need one more temple. Now, I will make you the one- thousandth temple.”
With his supernatural power, Bandung Bandawasa made Loro Jonggrang a temple. Until now, the temple is still standing in Prambanan area, Central Java. And the temple is named Loro Jonggrang temple.

The suitable title is The Legend from South Sea Lombok

Once upon a time in Lombok, there was a kingdom named Kuripan. The king of Kuripan was very wise. He had a daughter named Mandalika. She was so beautiful. Many princes wanted to marry her. To choose the one that would be his son-in-law, the king had an arrow shooting competition. The best one would be Mandalika’s husband.
On the day of the competition, those princes shot their arrows. All of them did it perfectly. The king found it difficult to choose. Therefore, the princes began to fight and kill each other.
Princess Mandalika was so desperate. She didn’t want anyone killing each other because of her. That’s why she decided to go to the sea. She died in the south sea of Lombok. The king and the princes were sad and felt guilty. They regretted and stopped fighting.
Until now, one day in every year usually in February or March, people go to the south sea. On that day, a great number of worms come out from the sea. People call those worms nyale. People believe that those nyales are Princess Mandalika’s hair.
