A long time ago it is said that half of the world had the sun, but the other side of the world was very darkWolf gathered all the animals together in a big caveTired of everybody bumping in and ask him for directions because he can see in the darknessHe had an idea: go to the other side and ask them for a piece of their sun.Coyote wants to steal the sun of the other side and thing their cant be nice and offered them a piece because they dont do it before so they have to stole it, just a Little piece; and its what they decided to doPossum said he can go and dig a tunnel and hide the piece of sun in his bushy tailPossum has never seen the sun when he popped out to the other side the light hit his eyes, and he was blinded.Possum struggled over the sun, took a Little piece, and put it inside his big olbushy tail and run backThen somethinf starrted to get hot inside his tale, he run into de room where all the animals waiting and they saw smoke and threw wter on him and the light was goneBig bad Buzzard thing that he can go and he jump into the tnnel, took a Little piece of sun put it in his Crown of feathers then something started to get hot in the top of his head; the animals saw smoke again A tiny spider decided that she wants to go bur the other animals think she was to old but she wants to helps then she took a big piece of clay and she begans to chant a clay bowl and desapeared inside the tunnel In the other side the sun guard knew that somebody was trying to steal some of their sun they were ready to start a fight but they didnt see her she came back took a loong time and the light inside the bowl started to grow all the aminals came to hlep grandmother but the light just keep getting bigger, so the animals had to squeezed out of the cave and out of the world and the sun boounced up into the sky Characters:
