Sun Earth Moon

We have read a few fables about why we have eclipses, why there is day and night, and why we have the four seasons. I want you to create your own fable or myth about one of the four questions we addressed in class:

1. Why do we have the four seasons?
2. How do day and night happen?
3. What causes an eclipse?
4. What are the phases of the moon and how do they occur?

Your fable/myth needs to be at least TWO paragraphs, include correct punctuation and grammar, and address one of the above questions.
