Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky
Sun and Water always visited each other. Or, at least, Sun visited Water on Earth but not vice versa. When asked why, Water said it there wasn't enough space at Sun's home. Sun, with the approval of his wife, Moon, built a compound for Water to stay in. However, when Water came by it was so ginormous that it forced Sun and Moon to retreat into the heavens, where they have since remained.
