Earth and Sky Father


Long time ago When the land was flat it’s was so dark and nothing could be seen.There was sky father and earth mother that were falling in love.And they had a child.One day the children beat the mother and father for all more room to run and play  but there parents couldn't let eachother go. So then they got separated even though the god of winds tried to stop them. The children were happy and lasted their days in the sun and not in the darkness.
