Legend of the Sun and Moon,

One day in China. so the legend runs. the sun asked the moon If she couldn't go out at night. The moon answered very stern!y: No. You are a young lady, and 1t would be im- proper for you to go out after dark" :" Then the sun said. But the people keep looking at me when I go out in the daytime" So the moon told her to take the golden needles that she wore in her hair and stick them into the eyes of people when they stared at her. This is the reason why no one can look at the sun without pain.
