There once was Thunder, a sheep that lived with her son. Her son was named Lightening, a ram that had a terrible temper. Thunder and Lightening lived on earth with everyone else. When Lightening got mad, we would cause a lot of damage to the town, setting things on fire and even killing some people. His mother would always yell at him and tell him to stop.

One day the king got tired of lightening and thunder and moved them to the outside of the town. Thunder would still get mad and go on rampages. Setting the fields on fire that would even spread back into the town. The people in the town got fed up with thunder and lightening and the king moved them into the sky so they wouldn’t cause that much harm and destruction.

Ever since they were moved, when the lightening gets anger you can still here his mother get on to him telling him to stop. Sometimes when the mother has moved away from her son, you can still see hi getting angry but cannot hear her voice.
