Once upon a time the Sun and the Moon were married, and they had many children who were the stars. The Sun was very fond of his children, but whenever he tried to embrace any of them, he was so hot that he burned them up. This made the Moon so angry that finally she forbade him to touch them again, and he was greatly grieved.  
One day the Moon went down to the spring to do some washing, and when she left she told the Sun that he must not touch any of their children in her absence.............
