Sister-Sun and Sister-Moon
walked side by side in the sky…
Both were cold.
*
One day they caught a hare,
skinned it, and put it in a cooking-pot to stew…
*
While the hare was stewing
The two sisters began to quarrel
over who should take precedence at the meal…
They could not agree
and took to hurling insults at each other.
*
In her rage Sister-Sun picked up the hare-skin
and flung it in the face of Sister-Moon.
*
Sister-Moon retaliated by picking up the cooking-pot
and flinging its boiling contents in Sister-Sun’s face.
*
Sister-Sun and Sister-Moon
no longer walk side by side in the sky…
*
And since that time
Sister-Sun has become boiling hot
whilst the hare-skin she threw at her sister
can still be seen
in the silvery face of the full moon.

Probably for the best … too many cooks, and all that. 🙂 … lovely bit of cosmology.

Yes, I felt it was. I vaguely remember some stories with this style read to me when I was younger, but I found them scarey
