Once upon a time, in a parallel universe far far away, long long time ago, just after Earth was created, there were 3 formless, spirit-like entities. What exactly they were then, we do not know. We only know that they were some entities and they were brothers and they each have a different personality. That is all.
One day, God summoned them before Him and said in a deep, almighty voice,
"YOU THREE HAVE NOW REACH THE AGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE WORLD. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"
The cheerful and outgoing eldest brother answered enthusiastically, "Father, I want to bring light and warmth to the entire world!"
One day, God summoned them before Him and said in a deep, almighty voice,
"YOU THREE HAVE NOW REACH THE AGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE WORLD. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?"
The cheerful and outgoing eldest brother answered enthusiastically, "Father, I want to bring light and warmth to the entire world!"
To this, God replied, "VERY GOOD! THAT IS A WORTHY AMBITION! YOU WILL BECOME... THE SUN."
The quiet and humble second brother said, "Father, I want to watch over the world when it is sleeping."
The quiet and humble second brother said, "Father, I want to watch over the world when it is sleeping."
To this, God replied, "HMMMM NOT BAD... YOU WILL BECOME... THE MOON."
The slightly slow and retarded youngest brother thought about the question for a very long while before answering:
"Errr... Father, I want to eat bananas."
God was stunned, and then furious! "YOU IDIOT!!! YOU WILL BECOME... ONE OF THE UGLIEST CREATURES THE WORLD HAVE EVER SEEN!" After saying that, God left angrily.
The slightly slow and retarded youngest brother thought about the question for a very long while before answering:
"Errr... Father, I want to eat bananas."
God was stunned, and then furious! "YOU IDIOT!!! YOU WILL BECOME... ONE OF THE UGLIEST CREATURES THE WORLD HAVE EVER SEEN!" After saying that, God left angrily.
(After the omniscient God's temper finally died down, he mumbled to himself, "Hmmm... did I make a mistake somewhere? I don't think it was supposed to happen this way..." Then He shrugged it off as one of those mysteries in life that could never be solved.)
And so, the eldest brother became the Sun, the second brother became the Moon, and the youngest brother became One Of The Ugliest Creatures The World Have Ever Seen. However, although he was ugly, he just lazed around happily each day, doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. (And most of the time, he just wanted to eat bananas.) Life could not be happier.
Meanwhile, his brothers were toiling day and night non-stop doing the same old boring thing again and again and again everyday...
Although life could not be happier for One Of The Ugliest Creatures The World Have Ever Seen, he just couldn't help but had this little doubt in his slightly slow and retarded mind:
'Why did God call me an idiot? Why ah??? You know?'

THE END
Actually it is not quite the end. Later, in this particular parallel universe, human beings learnt about this story about the 3 brothers. They then adapted it into a chinese movie, named,
《猩猩，月亮，太阳》
