The Big Man
He was getting tired of the
constant turmoil between the sun and the trees. The sun would always burn the
trees and the trees would complain and mock the sun. The big man was getting
weary of the constant loathing between the two sides.
The big man could not
understand why they engaged in this tumultuous activity. The trees were old and
wise and the sun was mighty and looked over all things. Yet still they went on
in this bickering and fighting. The big man wanted to end it once and for all.
That is just what he did. One
morning he left his home and stood between the two raging sides and he
explained the pointlessness of their hate and they listened but said they would
not stop. The big man transformed himself as a barrier between them. The sun
realised that it was lonely with out the trees and the trees began to miss the
sun. Thus the sun and the trees made peace but the big man remained as a
barrier between them. ‘Clouds’ is what people called him. He remained between
the sun and the trees just in case they would start their fighting again. So
ends the story of the big man.
