The Rooster and the Sun

A farmer is working in the field. It is a very hot day and the farmer quickly gets tired. "It's all your fault!" he shouts at the sun. The sun feels hurt and goes away. It does not return and there is darkness all around. Finally, it takes a rooster's trick to bring the sun back into the sky. This engaging story is based on a folktale of the Ao tribe in Nagaland.
