The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

All right, mythmakers. The whole reason I'm doing this is because I love "Why does..." myths. Everything from Greek and African mythology to Just So Stories. And I want to see what you bunch can come up with :D The rules are simple and few:

 

1) Pick one natural phenomenon, or a series of them, and write a story or poem about why it happens.

 

2) The natural phenomenon can be anything, from why there are stars in the sky, to where did humans come from, why monarch butterflies are orange and black, why women seem to love chocolate (that's a natural phenomenon, durn it! I can't control my love of chocolate, it's part of the Universal Order!)

 

3) Originality in the story is HIGHLY encouraged. Don't, for example, just retell that the shadows on the moon is a rabbit making mooncakes. However, taking pre-existing mythology and incorporating it into your story is all right.

 

4) Post in this thread

 

5) Any questions? Just ask :)
