The sun and his games

In the year 2014 as the year begins,the sun asks god for an long vacation. God is not pleased,the winter has just been so cold over most parts of the globe or the sun has been shining in places where he was not supposed to be and generally his behaviour has left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately sun thinks no end of himself and is getting a bit above his station. He thinks that because everyone revolves around him and because he's so bright,everyone must pale in comparison . Now god had been watching him for a while now and considering he's been on holiday for a pretty long period he was told in no uncertain terms that extended vacations were out of the question. He was meant to see summer through,after all everyone on earth needs vitamin D and the flowers need sunshine to bloom and the eart needs light and all that and this was his job description so well just get on with it god said.
Now as I mentioned earlier sun was getting too big for his boots so he sulked for a day or two and then decided he would defy god. He wasn't a team player he wanted all the attention and well he decided to have his revenge. He looked around the world and planned his campaign well. He decided that this year he was going to shine so bright that god would have no choice but to give him what he asked for. He wanted god to be on the back foot so he went to India and he started by being a nice sun shinning bright and lovely and just as everyone had settled into summer he decided to get upto mischief. On May first he launched his campaign and shone so bright that the earth warmed up and the flowers withered and people died and fell ill,but he didn't stop. He wanted god to take notice but god had no patience with spoilt childish behaviour so he ignored him. Sun continued to heat up the earth and as people especially old people and small children suffered under his heat,many people sent prayers to god to stop him. By June god was tired of the constant knocking on his door,his phone was never silent and his email box was full of prayers from an increasingly desperate people. Finally god summoned sun and told him he had to back off. His behaviour was unacceptable and while god didn't interfere in the day to day running of the planet this had just gone too far. While sun sulked and pulled a face,god summoned clouds and rain and told them they had better get to work to cool down the earth. The angles were also told to have their summer baths and the water was to be poured on earth. Everyone went off to do their bidding while cursing sun ( the angles muttered under their breadth they were not allowed to curse) and for a day or two they have been doing their jobs. Ofcourse god hasn't granted long vacations as demanded by sun but has given him a day or two off after which he is expected to report back to work but to keep the temperature at a reasonable high. Will sun listen ?. Well he is not a very happy chap is he at having his wings or shall I say his rays clipped so we shall have to wait and see what he does when his break is overa. I for one don't trust him a bit but you see I am mere mortal and one of his victims. So I wait and continue to send prayers upto heaven
