The Sun was very sad. He comes and goes around the sky everyday, and he shines on all over the world. Nothing can live without the Sun. But everybody frowned at Him. "I must be horribly ugly." the Sun thought. Autumn is the worst season for the Sun. Because people love and celebrate the Moon. On the full moon night, they offer dumplings for the Moon, put off the light, look up the Moon and say, "Oh, how beautiful the Moon is!" There came the day of the most beautiful full moon in the year. This year the Sun made up his mind to be looked at by someone, to be offered dumplings, and to be said "you are beautiful". The Sun looked for a traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." The priest who wore red clothes said, "I'm sorry, I can't. I am blind." The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." The young beautiful girl with her black hair bound at the back drew out the sword, licking the blade, and said, "heh-heh-heh... I'm not interested in anything except to cut someone. Can I cut you?" The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling Ronny Van Zant?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want for Steven Tayler?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I, George Michael, do such thing?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." The mysterious sorcerer wearing the skull of a ram said, "I, Rick Wakeman, won't do such a little thing" The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "No, you'll dazzle me" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." A thin sorceress with nut-brown hair said, "I said 'no'. Do you want an offensive spell?" The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." A swordsman with long blond hair said, "I can't be full looking at you." The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." "Why do you want?" The Sun was very glad, because the person was interested in his problem. He said he wanted to be looked at and to be admired as the Moon to be. The girl in white clothes and black hair said, "It's my duty to help someone in troubles! Well...." She looked around and begun to run. She jumped upon a big branch of a tree stood by the street. Then she looks up at the Sun. "Wow! No!!" She screamed, badly frowned, and fell down from the branch. "Although I love justice, there is a limit...." The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." The man with white hood and white cloak didn't look back and said, "Do you want to pick a fight with me?" The Sun looks for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." A stacked sorceress with black bikini said, "Tee-hee-hee! Naga the Surpent won't admire anybody else!" The Sun looked for another traveler. "Hello, the traveler?" "Who are calling me?" "I am the Sun." "What do you want?" "Would you please look at me?" "Why shall I?" "I want to be looked at without frown and said 'you are beautiful'." "It's OK." A young priest with shoulder length black hair looked up at the Sun and said, "The Sun, you are beautiful." The Sun was besides himself with joy. "Thank you! Thank you! Can I ask you one more thing?" "What do you want?" "Would you offer me dumplings?" "It's easy." The priest took out a small wooden stand with yellow dumplings. He settled a bench on the street, put the stand on it, and he sat on it with a cup of tea. He looked up at the Sun again and said, "Is that right?" "Yes, it is! Thank you so much!" "Can I ask you something?" "I'll do anything you want!" "I want to look beautiful sun everyday." "Oh, I will appear everyday!" The Sun wouldn't forget the request of the priest. Autumn passed by and winter came, and the Sun appeared everyday. He got rid of the cloud of rain or snow. The snow fell during the night but the Sun comes in the morning, and the snow was melted away. Then spring came and people were in trouble. It was the season of planting seeds, but there wasn't enough water. There were little snow on the mountain and they couldn't get the water. The priest who granted the Sun his dreams was a devil. The devil pleased the Sun and asked a bad thing for the people. So this is the end of the story to tell that if you don't help someone in a trouble, then everybody may be in a trouble in the future.
