Earth and Her Two Husbands: A Folk-Tale of the Latter-Day Hwicce
Well now, Earth had a dilemma on her hands, and no mistake.
Two she loved, and how to choose between them?
Sun: so beautiful, so steady, him of the piercing insight.
And Thunder: so passionate and irascible, so wild and unpredictable.
And how to choose between the two?
In the end she realized that the choice was no choice at all.
For this I have two hands, she said, and so she took one to each.
Now since Sun and Thunder had, in their own way, been heart-friends since they were boys—they even have a child together, her we call Rainbow—they all lived as happily together as might be expected.
They had many children, but that I don't need to tell you, since you've seen it for yourself.
Now all this happened back when Earth was a girl.
