Moon became very suspicious and went to his store room noticed 1 piece of light was missing.after hearing his wifes explaination,moon laughed and gently pulled the light off her face.she also was curious of y in her travels ppl were face down ignoring her.Those were stars and shouldnt b bothered while working,he exclaimed.Its clear to me that u need work to do moon replied..since u have shown me that u can carry the moon u can help me.from now on i will carry the pieces of the moon each cycle until its full,and u can carry the pieces of the moon until its dark..So this day forth the man of the moon carries the pieces of light from the time of the moons 1st quater until full,and the woman of the moon carries them from full until the moon grows dark.so they share the duty of carrying the light across the sky..
