- Sun, Moon, and Wind went out to dine with their uncle and aunt Thunder and Lightning
- I think an interesting addition to the intro would be to explain how each element got the name it was given
- They left their mom at home alone
- Sun and wind were selfish, and did not think of their mom while Moon thought of their mom
- Moon kept some of each meal to give to their mom
- Sun and moon both told their mom when they returned that their reasoning for going out to dinner was for their own pleasure, not for getting food for their mom
- I wonder why they were so selfish and greedy...
- The moon then gave their mom all the food she brought home
- Star, the mom, then cursed the sun for not bringing any food home
- She made her rays incredibly hot (a plot twist could be to make these rays incredibly cold, then there would be no heat)
- Star then cursed Wind and said she would always blow in the dry weather
- A plot twist could be that the wind will cause tornados all the time instead of just light gusts of wind
- Star then blessed moon with a calm, cool, and bright light and that is why the moon is still loved and beautiful today
- This story could change point of views, such as from the Sun or Wind's point of view instead
