How Sun Learned to Share Long ago, Moon was very busy helping Earth. It shined brightly in the day and dimly at night. One day, a star offered to help Moon so that he could rest. "I can help you," a star said. "I will shine for you in the daytime so that you can sleep." "Thank you," Moon said. "I will call you Sun and make you the biggest, brightest star in the sky. Animals will sing when you rise, and children will weep when you fall." Soon, Sun's blaze began to dry up Earth and starve its plants. "I can help," said a cloud. "I can make water to wet Earth." "Thank you," Sun said. "I will call you Rain Cloud." Moon gave Sun a warning. "When Rain Cloud pours, you will not shine as brightly." Sun did not like that idea, but Earth needed her help. "I will shine a little less to help the plants grow a little more." That is how Moon, Sun, and Rain Cloud learned to share the sky. 5 What is the theme of this myth?
