How the Moon Came to Be African Folklore Story |
Once
there were two suns and no moon. The suns are jealous of each other, and
compete in tests of toughness and strength.
Finally,
Sudi Sun decides to trick Rival Sun Oko, and invites him to go bathing. On the
river's bank, it is agreed that Sudi go upstream and Oko downstream.
Sudi
is to jump in first into the water; Rival Sun is to follow as soon as he hears
the splash. But, instead of jumping into the water, Sudi throws in an enormous rock.
Oko jumps in, and the stream carries away much of his strength and power.
Sudi
laughs and says to Oko, "From now on your name will be Moon and you shall
be king of night while I rule the day!"
Some African folk tales are real.
