The Wise Owl and the Sun's Journey

Once upon a time, there was a wise old owl named Oscar. He lived in a big tree and loved to help the other animals understand things. One day, a young fox came to him and asked, "Oscar, can you explain why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?"
Oscar thought for a moment and said, "My dear friend, let me tell you a story so you can understand why. Every day, the sun takes a journey across the sky from east to west. It rises in the east, travels across the sky, and sets in the west. That's just the way it is, and that's the right way for the sun to travel."
The young fox nodded, finally understanding. From then on, he could explain why the sun rises and sets to all his friends. And Oscar was happy knowing he had helped someone understand something new.
