Read the following passage carefully and answer the given question. Certain words/phrases have been
given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
One day Sun. Moon, and Wind went out to dine with their uncle and aunt Thunder and Lightning. Their
mother, one of the most distant Stars you see far up in the sky. waited alone for her children’s return
Now both Sun and Wind were greedy and selfish. They enjoyed the great feast that had been prepared for
them, without a thought of saving any of it to take home to their mother-but the gentle and ever helpful Moon
did not forget her. Of every dainty dish that was brought round, she placed a small portion under one of her
beautiful long fingered nails, so that Star might also have a share in the treat.
On their return, their mother, who had kept watch for them all night long with her little bright eye. said,
“Well, children, what have you brought home for me ?” Then Sun. who was eldest, said. “I have brought
nothing home for you. I went out to enjoy myself, not to fetch a dinner for my mother!” The Wind said.
“Neither have I brought anything home for you. mother.” You can hardly expect me to bring a collection of
good things for you. when I merely went out for my own pleasure.” But Moon said. “Mother, fetch a plate,
see what I have brought you.” And shaking her hands she showered down such a choice dinner as never
was seen before.
Star turned to Sun and spoke thus. “Because you went out to amuse yourself, and feasted and enjoyed
yourself, without any thought of your mother at home-you shall be cursed. Henceforth, your rays shall be hot
and ever scorchina and shall burn all that thev touch. And men shall hate you and cover their heads when
you appear.” Then she turned to Wind and said. “You also, who forgot your mother in the midst of your
selfish pleasures, hear your doom. You shall always blow in the hot dry weather and shall parch and shrivel
all living things. And men shall detest and avoid you from this very time.”
But to Moon she said. “Daughter, because you remembered your mother and kept for her a share in your
own enjoyment, from henceforth you shall be ever cool, and calm, and bright. No noxious glare shall
accompany your pure rays and men shall always call you ‘blessed’.”
That is why to this day the Sun is so hot. the Wind in the hot weather is still so disagreeble and the moon’s
light is so soft, cool and beautiful.
