The Beginning of the World: The Sun and Moon
Lou Tou was the first man's name. His wife was See Chee. She got pregnant and had a son, then more sons. One son's name was Teng Chu. He said, "The world is too small, Father. We have to make it bigger. People need a bigger place to live."
So Teng Chu and his father clapped their hands. They stamped their feet three times. And Teng Chu pushed up the sky. And he stretched the earth out to make it bigger.
Then he made a gold lamp. "This is for the day," he said. "We'll call it Sun."
He made a silver lamp. "This is for the night," he said. "We'll call it Moon."
And he hung them up very high.
They made lights in the sky. We can still see them today.
When the first man and woman came out of the mountain, everything was dark. No sun. No Moon. The sky was low. It was so low that Lou Tou sometimes touched it with his hand.
