Comment on Audio Story - When Sun Ruled the Land

I posted an audio version of the Cuban legend When Sun Ruled the Land. This story is retold by Janet Palazzo-Craig, and seeks to explain something that happens in nature. This story explains how day and night came to be and how the first eclipse took place. It also has shades of a biblical beginning with a parallel to how man and woman were first made.

I came across this story when putting together a unit for folktales, fairytales and legends for my elementary students. However, adults may find that a story such as this runs deeper and allows for more discussion and/or debate in an older population!
