#88 - momo erzählt - Wo der Löwenzahn herkommt

Erzählen und Musik: www.momoheiss.de Gehört habe ich die Geschichte
bei Hans Jörg Hubmann Ich habe eine andere Version gefunden, darin
übernimmt Mond und Wind eine etwas andere Rolle, das gefällt mir
gut. Wo diese Version herstammt, konnte ich nicht ermitteln... ich
bleibe dran ;) (Autor unbekannt) Father sun and mother moon had
many children, and those children were the stars. Father sun was
wise and kind and good. Mother moon and father sun loved their
children so. When the star children were old enough they carried
yellow lamps to help light the night sky with their mother moon for
all those on earth to see. One evening several stars wanted to play
instead of helping their mother light up the earth. They had worked
especially hard during those long cold winter nights when the
people and animals were sleeping. One winter night they forgot to
twinkle and instead ran off and played in the nighttime sky. They
pretended not to hear their mother calling and calling her children
to help light up the nighttime sky. The star children hid behind a
fluffy cloud. Suddenly a warm Chinook wind began to blow. The wind
blew with huge gusts. The trees groaned as the wind pushed their
trunks and limbs. The gusty wind reached the sky and found the star
children’s hiding place behind a cloud and all of a sudden those
poor star children lost their balance. They tumbled far, far, far
down to the earth below. They were blown right out of the nighttime
sky. When they reached the earth below, they looked up at the dark
sky. Maybe the sky was darker because they no longer lived in the
sky. The star children became frightened, for they were lost. They
called out to their father sun and mother moon to ask for help.
They wanted to come home to the sky. In the morning, father sun
heard his children call. He said he was so sorry, “Once twinkling
stars leave the sky, my dear children, they are not able to
return”. He promised the children he would think of something. The
poor star children were so lonely; they missed their mother moon
and father sun. Mother moon also missed her children but she found
a way to comfort all. Every night she sang. “Twinkle, twinkle
little star, how I wonder where you are…” The earth children must
of heard this song because all the children of the earth sang with
her. Finally spring came to the earth. Wise father sun looked down
at the brown spring ground. Father sun decided to bring some color
to the spring earth. He beamed his golden light down to his star
children and gave them into little golden flower lamps to light the
earth. The children were happy to hold the little lamps and bring
happiness and color to earth. These flowers became known as the
dandelion flowers. Wise father earth found a way that the little
star children could visit their mother and father. After the yellow
petals of the dandelion fade, littler white hairs form on the
flower, which are so light they, blow all the way up to the sky to
visit mother moon and father sun when a warm wind blows.
