Surya and Chandrakant
There was a boy named Chandrakant once, who had no light of his own. He tried to get the attention of others, but could not even get a wink of attention from them. he simply faded away in the light of others.
A girl named Surya noticed Chandrakant and took a strange liking to the lightless boy, who only wanted to be noticed by those who worshiped her.
Surya began to search for ways to give Chandrakant light, so he too could bring the people of their little planet joy.
Soon she found the only way was to sink down out of sight of her beloved people and allow her light to shine on Chandrakant.
That is what she did, and from that moment forward the cycle of day and night began. for twelve hours the people would bask in the light of Surya and for the other twelve they would dance in the light of Chandrakant.
