In the beginning of time, daylight and dark happened randomly!
There was no set length for how long daylight and dark should cover the earth.
It could last as long as a season, or pass in the blink of an eye.
Something needed to be done.
The Changer (pronounced "Hwan") challenged Ant and Bear to decide how long each should last.
But the discussion quickly fell to fighting and arguing.
Bear wanted daylight and dark once each year.
Ant demanded daylight and dark once each day.
Both refused to compromise, and the debate dragged on and on and on.
Today we know daylight and dark each day, as well as the change of the seasons throughout the year.
But what of Ant and Bear? Are they still fighting?
