How Day And Night Came To Be

Come sit around me kids and I will tell you a 100% true myth about the greatness of Kevin.

I think you can stop watching your modern televisions for just a few minutes to hear this myth.

Shockingly, it takes place in a time lacking many modernistic inventions like video games and remote controls.

A long time ago, when the world and its inhabitants were just created, everything was still. The planets did not revolve around the sun, thus one half of the world was cast into eternal darkness while the other half was bathed in daylight. The newly created inhabitants that the god Nivek had created were not happy because their crops would not grow. Nivek did not know what to do so he asked the beings that he had created for advice and one genius man, who was coincidentally named Kevin, offered him a totally easy solution.

\'Why don\'t you make the planets revolve around the sun?\' he suggested.

Nivek was puzzled because even he did not possess the strength to make planets. Kevin then offered another totally ingenious solution.

\'Let\'s use Nivek\'s infinitely extending spear as a lever to fling the planets into orbit around the sun.\' Using this technique which Kevin invented, everything went according to plan so thanks to Kevin, everything was saved.

Then Nivek said, \'Even though I possess extreme powers and magical objects, I couldn\'t have done it without you for you possess more wisdom than I shall ever have. I need to fix some of the other worlds that I have created but remember I\'ll be back.\' Now you have heard this myth, stop watching your modern LCD television and do something constructive like study.
