A long, long time ago, the Sun and the Water are good friends. They both live on the earth.

The Sun often visits the Water at his house. But the Water never comes to the Sun's house.

One day the Sun asks, "Why don't you ever visit me, my friend?"

"Your house is not big enough," says the Water. "I have a very big family. When I visit you, all my people come with me. There will be no room for you."

"Then I will build a very big house," says the Sun.

"It must be very, very big," says the Water. "My people are many, and they need a lot of room."

The Sun goes home to his wife, the Moon. She opens the door with a big smile.

"I want the Water to visit us," says the Sun. "So we must build a very big house."

The next day the Sun and the Moon start to build. They work for a long time. At last they have a big, beautiful house. It is the biggest house in the world.
