Creation
Picture by David
Earth was on a mission that seemed impossible—making the
world a place of beauty. He was going to need help. Earth God decided to ask
his two best friends for help. His two best friends were Sun and Moon. Sun was
a jolly man ready to take on any task. On the other hand, Moon was a calm,
gentle man with a lot of wisdom. Moon and Sun decided to take on the challenge
with Earth, but each one of them had one condition. Sun wanted to be in charge
of the world during the day, and Moon wanted to be in charge of the world
during nighttime. This is the story how three friends created the world.
The first task on the agenda was creating a forest. Earth
twirled around in a constant motion till he was completely dizzy. Suddenly,
there were bright, green, and tall creations coming out from a field of dirt.
He twirled again and there was something blue and wet coming down in
straightforward motion. If you tried to touch it, the blue storm would knock
you right down into a clear, slow moving wave. There were rocks, frogs, and
fish in this new creation.
Next, was a giant hill! There was a hole in top of the hill.
It would take years to climb it, and if you were there at the wrong time, the
hill could explode, and shoot bright red lava!
Earth twirled again, and there were some light brown grains
on the ground. They were so tiny, but when piled together in a giant pile, the
grains were soft. You could make castles, bury things in it, and even lay in
it!
One more swirl, and there was a giant rock the skyrocketed
up! If you looked down, you might get a little scared because of high this
giant rock that split in the middle was.
Earth was really proud of his creations, but Sun and Moon
still had their own jobs they needed to get done. Sun saw everything that the
Earth just created and smiled real big. His smile was so big that he shined on
everything Earth created. The blue waves sparkled like crystals; the giant
green branches looked even greener, and the grains on the ground shined a
little like tiny brown diamonds.
The Moon looked around at everything Earth and Sun created
together, but once Sun stopped smiling there was nothing but darkness, and
nothing the two created could be seen. Moon closed his eyes, and suddenly he
lit up light a light bulb. Sun and Earth looked up, and there were tiny little
dots that sparkled in the sky. The dots looked like glitter that brightened the
creations. Everything was perfect. The Earth, Sun, and Moon created nature.
Nature was to be admired by all in the future, and they hoped this would last
forever because it was such a pretty sight to see. The world was finally
created with the help of some light and darkness. Earth was very happy.
Author's Note:
The original story was a little different from what you just
read that I wrote. The original story’s main character was Earth Doctor that
made water, mountains, trees, grass, and weeds. The story started off with a
lot of darkness, which Earth Doctor changed with a little magical song. The
song Earth doctor sang when he made the creations was how the world came to be.
It was a beautiful story of how nature came to be. Stars, trees, water, and
everything else is something that was explained in such a creative way. I was
inspired by this story to write my story where Earth was accompanied by Sun and
Moon. Earth was in charge of creating nature, Sun was in charge of light, and
Moon was in charge of darkness. Instead of a song, I made the Earth twirl
around until trees, a lake, a canyon, and sand was created. I did not want to
say what exactly he created because I wanted my readers to put the pieces
together, and see nature coming together in their minds as they read. I love
nature because its unexplainable beauty that should be appreciated more, so I
had a blast writing this story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I loved writing it!
