A Sad True Story

It’s the story of a girl with the most beautiful smile in the whole wide universe. When she used to smile the blooms would blossom, the birds would chirp, the wind would sing and the woods would whistle and the animals would dance and even the might sun would shine brightly. The moon sulked as it never got too much of sunshine to see that beautiful smile; but was happy for the other who did.

The sun was in love with her. He would spend sleepless night and impatiently wait for the earth to spin around to see her and flush the earth with warm colourful rays. It became an obsession with the sun and the other planets got worried; if she happens to break his heart, the sun might not be able to contain the pain and explode – they all feared.

They had started observing some eccentricity with the sun's behaviour. They felt he focused more on earth and delayed things on other planets. Once he treaded too close to one of the small planet just to get a better view of her, it led to destruction. Sun brushed if off as a slight miscalculation and positioning error but everybody knew what the truth was; they dared not to reason with him.

This continued for many years until she found a handsome writer, it broke sun's heart. She was unaware of sun's affection for her. She could see the tan which made her look more beautiful but was clueless where it was coming from in that cold country.

The handsome writer loved her too much and expressed his love through his poems which she would wait for. The desponded sun consulted the moon who asked him to focus on what he has been created for and continue to shower his love and soft rays on the couple.

The legend has it that the sun shone the brightest when the pair vowed to be together forever. Many years have passed since she left earth but the sun still misses her. He has to be calmed by the moon from time to time by shielding the earth for his anger and pain.
