This story comes from Nagaland in Northeast India. The Nagas say that, many years ago, the moon lived close to the earth near their village and made friends with the people there. One day, an old woman was cleaning her house. She hit the moon with her brush when she was not looking. The moon began to cry in pain. The children laughed at the crying moon and started to throw stones at it.
Only one little girl felt sad because the children were hurting the moon. She told the children to stop but they did not listen. Soon the moon decided to go and live far away from the earth in the sky so the children from the village could not find it. The moon turned its face away from the earth so the children could not see it.
The little girl was sad and sang a song to make the moon return. This was why, every month, the sky was dark except when the moon turned its face to the earth again to listen to the little girl singing.
