The Sunset Fable

Once there was a gathering in the Hoh forest that drew many people from the villages all around. They built a fire, sang, played music, danced, and ate lots of food. Even the Sun heard about this great event and joined the festivities.

The ocean also heard about it, but could not attend, lest it put out the great fire that kept everyone warm and cooked the food. It became depressed and turned blue. The Sun, however, was having such a great time it decided to carry the party around the world.
Now because the great trees were rooted, they could not follow, they became envious and turned green.

You can still see the gathering to this day, every evening looking into the West…
