1. How do we get our food now? Do you always waste food?
2. What gifts does nature give us now?
Why is the sky far away?
The sky was once close to the earth. But now it is far away. Why? This story from Africa will help you find out.
Once upon a time the sky was close to the earth"and"people could cut parts of it to eat. One day, Adami asked his wife"and"all his children to help him eat the delicious pieces of sky, but they were already full. They couldn’t eat any more. So Adami decided to try to hide the pieces at the bottom of the rubbish pile.
Suddenly the sky became angry"and"the clouds turned black. “You wasted my gift of food again,” shouted the sky. “This time I will go away so you cannot waste me any more.”
All the people cried, “What will we eat? We might starve!”
The sky said, “You will have to learn how to grow your food in the ground. If you work hard, you may learn not to waste the gifts of nature.”
Everyone watched as the sky sailed away. From then on, people worked hard to grow their food"and"cook their meals. They always tried to remember not to waste the gifts of nature.
The sky lived high above them, out of reach. It was far away"and"very blue, just as it is today.
