Sun, Moon and Earth:

Lithuanian tales

Once upon a time, Sun and MOON lived peacefully in

the sky. They had little daughter named Earth.

Once, they had and argument, and divorced.

Sun decided that Earth should stay with her mother, but Moon

disagreed, and said that daughter should stay with father. The judge thunder made a compromise: sun

will watch little Earth in the daylight, and moon will guard her

from dusk till dawn.

From that time, Sun shines only at day, and

the Moon strolls at night.

In ancient times, there was a man who worked as a hammersmith. Those times there was darkness everywhere - only

night and night.

The hammersmith decided to forge the sun. He took a brilliant iron, forged forged

and coined over six years.

Then he climbed on the top of the highest farmhouse and threw it into

the sky. Since then, it is shining there.

Sun, wind and rainSun, wind and rain

Once upon the time lived two old men and they had a lot of land. One day they begun to fight

for the fence, separating their gardens. And they started to argue.

One old man, blew the wind, when

he fought with the neighbor. The

other man- sniped water. Then sun

got mad and stopped to shine.

And from now on, when these two – wind and rain start to fight, sun hides under the clouds. So the wind blows and rain begins

to storm out.
