The earth, sky and heavens were all in elation as the Sun and Moon finally merged into one sphere. The natural elements of trees, mountains, rivers, and land were an audience to the reunion set above them. The Earth below was covered in a soothing shadow that contained small fragments of light. The Sun and Moon each have elements of the natural world that they befriended over others; not that any element was left friendless though. The Sun's closest friends are the land and the mountains. The Moon became close to the water and the trees. So as the reunion was approaching, each entity asked their friends for some of the best stories to tell that would catch the other up on what was missed. The Sun decided to share the story of the Green Isle to the Moon and related it in the exact manner it was initially told.
I, the Green Isle, am prone to having many things happen on my surface. I really enjoy that I have friends with me all the time because they find my soil enriching and are surrounded by good companies of animals. My favorite thing about being an isle is getting wet kisses from the sky that I soak up and I spread the love to everything that lives on me. My least favorite thing is the race of men. They can be so destructive and careless to what we, as Nature, have worked so hard for. I got my revenge on one man and he was too naive to realize what he had coming to him.
There was a king who claimed his rights over my expansive shores. He was good to me and so we lived in harmony and even talked to each other once in awhile. The king had a beautiful daughter named Sunbeam. There were no worthy men in their kingdom to marry her so they waited for questing bridegrooms that would fight for her. While we were anxiously waiting for such a man to appear, an eagle dropped to the ground weeping. I asked her what she was so saddened by. The poor eagle related that all of her children were killed by a man who smothered them in fire. The trees and rivers wept with her. I led her to the Well of Healing and had her bathe in it to reduce her sorrow and she explained her sadness to me. She said that she saw the ignorant man who murdered her children getting punished by another man for acting foolish and trying to attack him for no reason. The offended man picked up the foolish one and threw him over a hill. She continued by saying she thought nothing of it because she was looking for food for her children. When she returned to the nest with food, her children were alive but when she left and returned again they were dead and there was the foolish man cooking the dinner that she brought for her children.
