Welcome to A Carefully Built Pretend. My name is Melissa, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Today we’ll be reading a story called The Day the Sun Fell. It’s a story about working together to complete something that would be impossible if we were working alone.
Are you ready? Here we go!
The Day the Sun Fell
The girl came to the field one day and saw the most incredible thing.
The sun had fallen from the sky and landed in the valley. The girl tried to lift it by herself, but soon realized it was impossible to do it on her own. She called her friend, and he came running. The girl and the boy tried to lift the sun back up into the sky, but they could not do it on their own.
The girl and the boy ran to the village, and soon all the villagers had gathered to help. They tied ropes around the sun and tried to pull it up the mountain, but they could not do it on their own.
The villagers called to all the people of the land, and they came with their drums. They beat their drums and they stomped their feet as they danced in circles. The sun started to bounce up and down in time with the music.
Soon, word had spread around the world that the sun had fallen from the sky. Dragons flew from the East, they used to villagers’ ropes to pull the bouncing sun into the sky.
The people from the North used their song to send the winter wind. It blew over the mountain and pushed the sun higher up into the sky.
The people from the South gathered in the desert and they danced in a big circle, moving faster and faster, until a sandstorm lifted into the air! The sandstorm blew over the mountain to join the north wind, and together they pushed the sun up – up – up!
The people from the West stood on the beach and cheered as loudly as they could. Their shouts created huge waves in the ocean. The waves curled up toward the sky, the water mixing with the sand and wind, and gave the sun a push as it took one final bounce and landed back in its place in the bright blue sky.
The people cheered and cheered. The people from the East with their brightly coloured dragons, the people from the North with their windy song, the people from the South with their swirling sand, and the people from the West with their crashing waves. The sun smiled down on them all, proud and happy that the everyone in the world had worked together to put things right.
The girl and the boy sat on the outskirts of their village in the valley, and watched as the sun set behind the mountain. It waved goodbye as it went down, and they heard it say it would return tomorrow.
Behind them they heard a loud crash.
The girl and the boy turned around, and saw the most incredible thing. There, a few paces away from where they sat, plopped on the lush green grass of the valley, was the moon.
Thank you for being here my friend, it’s so nice to spend a little bit of time with you!
I hope you enjoyed this story. Remember, sometimes trying to do something alone can seem impossible, it’s okay to ask for help. Working together to get something done can make it a lot easier, and a lot more fun.
Until next time, keep imagining, dreaming, and pretending – and helping others – and I’ll be back very soon.
