Mr. Light and Mr. Dark



Mr. Light gives us light

He nourishes our pants so that they will survive and bloom.

He protects us from the nightly monsters that want to spill our blood.

He shines his light on things that are hard to physically see.

Then he retires so Mr. Dark can fulfil his duties.

But...There are things Mr. Dark cannot do.

Mr. Dark cannot shine his light to help us find what's we need to find.

Mr. Dark cannot protect us from the monsters that wish to spill our blood because they are hard to see.

Mr. Dark doesn't have enough light on him to shine brightly to help nourish our plants.

But there is one thing that Mr. Dark does try to do and that's make sure that we can all have a good nights rest.
