Moon Stained: Folklore

Dark glows in the beautiful shining moon at night. Perhaps from this, this proverb would have been made - there is a scarring in the moon, that is, a deficiency in something beautiful. According to Khasi folklore, there was no stain in the first moon. The moon was even more beautiful. There are many stories about the dark spots of the moon. One of these is folklore.

It is believed that the moon, sun, wind, fire - all were members of the 'divine family'. Among them were sun, wind, fire - these three sisters and Chand was their only brother. The sun and moon were the most beautiful among these siblings. The beauty of both was amazing wherever they went; Their beauty surprised the people, the mother gave them such good values ​​that the four used to live together. Always used to help each other. His family was a happy family. Seeing which people were jealous of them.

Gradually the four siblings started growing up laughing. Discussion of his appearance began to go far and wide. The sisters were sensible, so they came out responsible, but brother Chand fell into bad company. He became associated with dwarf people; Those who were not only small due to their height, but also used to do dirty work. To persecute the weak, harass them, use abuses on talk was become their habit. They used to gamble and also intoxicated. The moon also started doing this work. The mother and sisters of the moon explained her a lot, but the moon was not considered. He was adamant.

One day after convincing the mother very much, she came in anger and said - I have grown up, so I can think my own good and bad. He left the house with a foot of anger. What would a poor mother do? With the help of luck, he left the stray child and prayed to God that God should show his child the right path.

Many days had passed, leaving the moon at home. Time heals every wound, so now the whole family was used to living without the moon. On the other side, Chand left the house to have a lot of fun with his evil friends. Everyone used to do dirty work with them. There was no one to stop him here. He felt like a free bird. Now he would travel around the world with friends.

It is said that there is always the pleasure of doing good work; But bad work cannot make a person more happy. Gradually the moon's mind also got bored with evil deeds. He does not like to get up and sit among his friends. Chand misses his beloved family. Every learning of his mother echoed in his ears. He could not understand what to do.

One day he decided to go back home. Several days later he reached his home. Nobody could recognize him in the house because his flashes had faded due to continuous bad deeds; The beauty of the face was blown away and the housemates were not happy to see him coming back to the house as he had mixed the name of his entire family in the mud with his bad works. Yes, his sweetest sister Sooraj was very happy with his return. He explained to the family that the moon would no longer do any wrong in the future. Mother agreed to keep the moon when Sun explained

After some time everything went well at home. Once again the whole family started living together. Everyone thought that the moon has changed now and its bad habits have also changed, but bad habits do not give up easily. Moon's evil eye fell on her sister Suraj. She found the sun to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She did not even think that Suraj is her real sister. For many days, he kept his feelings hidden in his mind, but now he is no longer with him. He went to mother and shamelessly said - Mother, I want to marry Suraj. I have traveled almost all the earth; I did not see a beautiful woman like Suraj.

Mother was stunned to hear this. She said scolding the moon - You are not ashamed while talking like this? Suraj is your sister.

The moon smilingly replied - What is shame? I am the most beautiful man in the world and the sun is the most beautiful woman. I cannot find a beautiful life partner like Suraj anywhere else. Mother felt very angry on hearing this. He clearly said - We cannot have brothers and sisters in our marriage. With this, he expelled the moon from the house. She did not want to keep her son with such bad thoughts at home.

It is said that when the moon was going out, the sun came there. He overheard all the things and a deep hatred arose in his mind towards his brother. Angry, he threw the ashes lying in front of the moon. A face full of embers burned the face of the moon and caused black spots.

Since then, the moon has not been able to see her due to having a dirty feeling towards her sister, she has been hiding her face from it. This is why the sun rises during the day and the moon at night. It is true that the face is a mirror on which the shadow of human emotions is seen.
