Where the Sun and Moon Come From (Cuba)

After the great flood, the Sun and the Moon lived together in a dark cave. Their rays didn't touch the Earth, and only the stars shone in the sky. But the cave was too big for both of them, so the Moon decided to travel to the great blue cave in the sky -- this is why the Sun and Moon are never together in the same sky anymore. This Cuban creation tale was collected by folklorist and suffragette Florence Jackson Stoddard. She was once the President of the International Association of Arts and Letters, and her book won her great acclaim.
