The Badger Names the Sun%0D%0A%0D%0AAt the beginning of the era of the Surem, nobody knew the name of the sun and they wanted a name for it. For this reason they held a council on the bank of the Surem River. Everyone gave his opinion but no name was found for the sun. Every day they studied the matter. They did not know if it were man or woman and so they couldn't decide whether it would be best to give it a male or a female name. The Surem could not agree. They finally invited all the animals of the world to come to a council.%0D%0A%0D%0AOnce they were all present, before the sun came up, at the edge of the river, they made a great group of men and animals. When the sun appeared, a badger came out of a hole where he lived in the ground.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe badger came to the council and said in a strong voice, "The sun being a man, comes out of a hole in the earth as I do." Speaking thus, he ran away.%0D%0A%0D%0AEveryone ran after him, wishing to pay him honor for his great intelligence. They wanted to give a fiesta for him and to pay him well with abundant food.%0D%0A%0D%0ABut the badger ran away and went into his hole and would not come out. He thought they wanted to punish him. From that time on the badger rarely goes out on the plains. He is still afraid that they might punish him for something.%0D%0A%0D%0AIn one to two sentences, explain the problem in this story and how the badger solved it.
The problem in this story is that the Surem people couldn't agree on a name for the sun because they couldn't decide if it should have a male or female name. The badger solved it by suggesting that since the sun comes out of a hole like he does, it should be considered a man.
In kid words please
The problem in this story was that the people couldn't decide on a name for the sun because they didn't know if it should have a boy or girl name. The badger solved it by saying that since the sun comes out of a hole like he does, it should be called a boy.
