65 



Method : 



Tell the sun myths in the way suggested for the myths 

 of the wind and clouds. 



Something has come very softly into the room, it is 

 bright and yellow and warm. It has come from a 

 great distance. Who 

 can tell his name? 

 From what has Mr. 

 Sunbeam come ? 



What day is named 

 for the Sun ? Why ? 



How far is it to the 

 Sun ? So far that, if 

 you were there and 

 could speak loud 

 enough for me to 

 hear, it would take 

 two weeks for the 

 sound of your voice 

 to reach me ; so far 

 that, if you told me 

 to come to you on the 

 fastest express that 

 exists in the world, it 

 would be about one 

 hundred and seventy- 

 five years before I 

 could reach you, even if I travelled both day and night. 



Show in the same way how small the earth is in com- 

 parison to the sun. 



Who has watched the light coming into the bedroom 

 in the early morning ? Does it come at the same time ? 

 At the same place ? Why is it first gray, then lighter ? 



Apollo Belvedere.
