Sun and Moon Conflict."The sun and The moon" By:Bagobo


"The Sun and the Moon" is a Bagobo folktale that tells the story of the conflict between the two celestial bodies. According to the tale, the sun and the moon were once friends and lived together in harmony in the sky. However, one day the moon became jealous of the sun's brightness and decided to challenge the sun to a fight.

The sun, being much larger and stronger, easily defeated the moon in the fight. The moon was so humiliated and ashamed that it retreated to the other side of the sky and refused to come out during the day. Instead, it only appeared in the sky at night when the sun was gone.

This separation between the sun and the moon created a problem for the people on earth, who needed both the sun's light and the moon's light for their daily lives. To solve this problem, the people asked the animals of the forest for help.

The animals agreed to form a chain, with the largest and strongest animal, the elephant, at one end, and the smallest animal, the mouse, at the other end. The animals then stretched the chain from the earth to the sky, so that the moon could climb up and shine its light down on the earth.

Since that day, the moon has appeared in the sky at night, while the sun appears during the day, and both continue to provide light to the people on earth. The animals are still there, holding up the chain, so that the moon can continue to shine its light down on the earth at night.
