Two sisters, the Sun and the Moon, rule the sky, but each is jealous of the other’s power. One night, to settle their quarrel, they decide to switch roles…and calamity ensues! The Sun and the Moon are sisters, and they rule and sky together peacefully. One day, however, each begins to wonder: who is more important? This friction leads them to make a powerful decision to switch roles, hoping that it will lead to a greater understanding of their powers. Soon, the Sun begins shining all through the night, and the Moon brings night to the day. In the end, the two sisters will learn an important lesson about the importance of harmony and the balance of their relationship. PreS-Gr 2—Sun and Moon are sisters who rule the day and night, respectively—until the day they begin questioning which one is more important. When they switch roles to satisfy their mutual envy, they cause discord among all of Earth's creatures. Sun stays up all night to take Moon's place, but it is much too bright for the children to sleep, and the plants turn brown and wilt from the relentless heat. Moon comes to the rescue and turns day into night, but since she stubbornly takes over for Sun, the next morning is still dark, cold, and gloomy. Children cry out for Sun to return, insisting that the sisters stop quarreling and restore balance once and for all. With that, Sun and Moon decide that they're indeed different but equally important nonetheless.
