Long before the world knew morning or night, there was only twilight. In that eternal half-light, the Sun and the Moon were companions, their friendship shaping the rhythm of the skies. But when the Sun’s fire grew too fierce, the Moon withdrew, and their bond became an endless pursuit: one forever chasing, the other forever fleeing.

This ancient creation myth of the Bodo people of Assam tells how day and night first came into being, and why, in rare eclipses, the Sun and Moon meet again in fleeting embrace. A tale of balance, friendship, and the eternal dance of light and darkness.

This episode is perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or long car rides. If you’re looking for thoughtful, slow-paced stories for kids, meaningful children’s stories rooted in Indian tradition, or creation myths that touch on the mysteries of the cosmos, this one is for you.
