THE FIFTEEN CRATER HERMANOS By: McKenna
A Mexican story.
One day there were 15 brothers, and
they were big and strong. Except for one brother named Sol, Sol was super tiny,
short, and weak. He realized this too, and he didn’t like it. His brothers
would pick on him and hurt him. Sol’s parents knew this, and wanted to help
Sol, but they were afraid because their other sons could kill them.
Then one day, all fifteen brothers went out
for a walk, when they saw a ladder. They
all climbed the ladder. The strongest went first, and his name was Eclipse.
Then all of the other brothers climbed up, leaving Sol to climb up last. When they all got up they saw this slimy,
murky, gooey grey stuff, so since Eclipse thought he was the bravest, he jumped
into it. Then it brought him into a cannon and shot him up.
Everyone stared at it for a while
then finally they looked up and saw their brother Eclipse being launched onto
the moon. Now because the brothers were so mischievous, thirteen more brothers
jumped in. Which meant Sol was last to jump, and so he did. Except this time he
didn’t appear on the moon with his brothers.
He
was enlarging by the second, and getting brighter too! Meanwhile the brothers
stared at him with their pupils huge. Then all of the sudden Sol just stopped. He
was stuck in place. Big and bright, the two best things he could ever think of.
Now to this day you can still see Sol (the sun), and all of his brothers (on
the moon).
