A Comet's Tale

The Comet's Tale

"Mum, tell me a story!"

Her mother smiles. "It's late, dear. You have to sleep."

"But I haven't tired, Mum." Said the little girl. She smiled. "Please??"

"Alright, Little Bee!" Her mum surrended. "Looks like we have time to tell a short story. Now, do you want to hear the comet's tale?"

The little girl's eyes sparkled like a star. She's ready to enter the corridor of the bedtime story with her mother. Her mother raised her hands in the air as if sprinkling fairy dust to create miracles. Now the adventure has begun.

"Long time ago, when the Earth had two suns—"

"Two suns??!" the girl exclaimed cutting her mother's story.

Mother nodded. "Yes! There are two suns, my dear. And do you know that they both have different duties??"

The little girl shakes her head.

"The First Sun has the task of illuminating the Earth every morning until dusk." Said her mother.

"What about the other one?" Asked the little girl curiously.

"The Second Sun has the task of helping the Moon at night by giving light to the Moon to shine.

One time, the Second Sun felt God was unfair to him. Why did the First Sun get a special assignment by appearing alone? Whereas the Second Sun appeared with the Moon on Earth and was just a servant? And then suddenly, the Second Sun turns into evil!"

The little girl gasped. Her starry eyes widened.

"Before dawn, he stole the First Sun's core light. However, before successfully taking the core light away from the center of the solar system, the First Sun came. It made the Second Sun failed to carrying away the core light.

The First Sun was angry and blew the Second Sun. It draws most of the light and energy of the Second Sun. The First Sun blew the Second Sun pretty far. That's why the Second Sun has a very long tail.

However, the Second Sun doesn't give up. He still wants to steal the First Sun's light."

"No way ..." the little girl murmured. She yawned. "The second sun needs to give up!"

Her mother smiled softly. "My dear ... every time he tried to steal, the First Sun always blew it. His body starte getting small and small because of that blown. That's why comets always evaporate when approaching the sun."

"But, Mum—" the girl yawned again. "Why did the name change to a comet, Mum?"

Her mother smiles again. "That's because humans on Earth see the Second Sun-like long hair, honey."

"Can we hunt comets tomorrow? I want to see the Second Sun ..." Asked the little girl.

"Of course, dear. But now you have to go to sleep, okay?" mother rubbed her hair.

The little girl holding her bee plushie tightly. Her eyes began to close. However, that doesn't mean she fell asleep. Her eyes glanced at the window of the room that wasn't covered with curtains.

There's a light extending across the sky. The light moves rapidly. The little girl screamed inside her heart.

Tha—That's the Second Sun! Mum! I see it!

Unfortunately, she chose to close her eyes and fall asleep. She just too sleepy for tonight. But tomorrow, she'll hunt the Second Sun with her mother, for sure.
