Two Tigers

Million years ago there was a world without sun and moon. There wasn't difference between water and land and just the sky covered up the whole world. There was no cold or heat. One day suddenly it started raining and with the rain appeared the two first living creatures in earth. They were two little tigers; they were confused because they were alone. They started exploring the land and they didn’t found anything. The first one was gold and the other one was a white tiger. They were happy of at least having each other.

They noticed that when the white tiger scratch the land, it appeared water. With the white tiger’s water it started growing plants very fast. The gold tiger was very sad because he felt useless and he moved away from the white tiger. Now they were by their own, the white tiger was searching for him and in the searching he started forming the rivers and then with the time the oceans, he walked a lot searching his brother. Both tigers grow up very much with the time, and the white tiger discovered some clues during the searching, he find out that there were zones very dry and only with sand, he found big footprints that didn't match with his footprints, he assumed they were from his brother. With those clues the white tiger get closer and closer to his brother, one day they finally get together again and they were both very angry because they have changed a lot and also the world. Now the world was a place with plants, flowers, rivers, oceans, and deserts.

The white tiger was angry because the gold tiger abandoned him and the gold tiger was jealous of the white tiger's gift. When they found each other face to face and they started talking:

 -How could you abandon me? We are brothers, brothers don't do that

-I know but you are so selfish, you didn't know how I was feeling, you are always the best in everything and I'm the black sheep.

-You are jealous, you should be thankful with me

They started fighting and with every wound they made something bad happened to the world like there was an earthquake, or it appeared a volcano. The fight lasted many months because both tigers were very strong and big. They realized that none of them could win the fight without destroying part of the world. One day the gold tiger recognized he was wrong for being jealous of the white tiger and he ask for forgiveness, and the white tiger accepted, so the fight finally stopped.  When they were happy, especially the gold tiger, the first dawn started and they noticed a big yellow star "the sun” and with the first dawn it came the first sunset and the moon was in the top of the dark sky. The tigers noticed that when they we’re together living as brothers in peace, the world was a better place with new things that were appearing. They lived many years until they were two old tigers just watching how much the world have changed since they were little tigers and how a happy world was created.
