Why it is dark at night ?
There is an interesting myth about this. When the world was new, it never really got dark. When the Sun set, the Moon cast enough light on the world to make everything clearly visible. All was fine and good until the Supreme being asked Bat to carry a basket to the Moon. The basket had darkness inside. Bat did not know what the Moon was supposed to do with the darkness, but nevertheless he flew off on his mission. On his way to the Moon, however, Bat became tired and hungry. He kept the basket down and went in search of food. While he was away, some other hungry animals came upon the basket and began pawing into it, looking for some thing to eat. Just as Bat returned, the animals pushed the cover off the basket and released darkness into the night. Ever since, Bat has slept during the day and spent the nights flying about, trying to catch the darkness and return it to the basket so he can take it to the Moon, as promised.
