Read the two stories:

The Sun in the Sky

One day the sun was high up in the sky. The sun wanted to shine on the Earth but there were too many clouds in the way. So the sun asked the wind to help him.. He asked the wind to blow the clouds out of the way so he could shine on the Earth. The wind gladly blew the clouds away for the sun. Then the happy sun shone brightly down on the Earth.

Moon Big and Bright

One night the moon was dancing around in the sky. His friends, the stars, were twinkling, very brightly. The stars were so bright, that no one on Earth could see the moon. So the moon asked the stars to please quit twinkling so brightly so that he could shine on the Earth. The stars all agreed, and twinkled only a little. Then, the moon shone brightly down on the Earth for everyone to see.
