A giant snake is swallowing the moon! We’re all doomed – doomed, I say!
Wait! There’s a priest here who claims he can wrestle with the snake, and force it to give the moon back. It will take him some time – just enough time for us to bring all the gold we have in the village to him. Quick, quick, grab all the sacks you can and bring him the gold!
Seriously, it definitely gives you some perspective about the world. Who cares about that deadline, just how much does cleaning up after dinner tonight really mean, when you can see something as wonderous as a sky truly full of stars, and the dark side of the moon?
