Both her best friends, Sun and Moon were fighting. They were fighting about something very silly. They wanted to know who among them spent more time with the Earth. Both Sun and Moon were pulling each of the Earth's hand. "I spend more time with her. We play all the time", roared the Sun. "No, I spend more time with her. We have long walks", shrieked the Moon. The Earth was in pain and she was crying. She prayed to God to help her out. The Clock promised to solve the Earth's problem. She asked both Sun and Moon to give her a helping hand. The Clock used those hands to measure how long the Sun and Moon spent time with Earth. Early next monring, the clock started counting. The Sun rose early and started to play with the Earth. They played swings, seesaws, hide and seek with the clouds and slides. They played the whole day. And at last in the evening, the Sun grew tired and wanted to leave. The Clock marked that the Sun had spent 12 hours with the Earth. As the Sun left, the Moon came on. The Clock started ticking again. Moon and the Earth went on walks, chatting and telling each other all the stories they have overheard during the day, sharing jokes and giggling. The talked and talked the whole night. Finally the Moon was tired and she decided to leave. The Clock ticked 12 hours again. The Clock explained to the Sun and Moon. "Both of you spend the same time with Earth and your timings are different. So both of you are the best friends of the Earth", said the Clock. The Sun and the Moon both were very happy and they stopped fighting. The Earth enjoyed the time it spent with the Sun and the Moon. The Clock decided to stay back on Earth, just in case the Earth needs his help again. And so the clock came to be.
