Once there was a land in which the Sun never set. This was a tragedy for the people of this land slept by day and feasted by night.
One day, a clever young man woke up and closed his eyes against the burning Sun. The young man woke his friends, who exclaimed the wonder of his discovery. However, the young man's Mother - who was not born yesterday, rolled over in her sleep and said to him, "Get back to bed, Son. For the Light will surely blind you in its terribly bright and blinding glory."
But the youth stood firm, for he knew his plan would work this time. "Momma," he said, "the light won't blind you if you close you're eyes to it and pretend it does not exist."
And so the people of the land of the Unsetting Sun became blind, for they shut their eyes and saw not that the sun had set and the feast could begin.
It's deep. Like Sicilian style pizza. I hadn't even intended it to be deep. I was hoping for dryly amusing.
