The Rooster And The Sun/Murga Aur Suraj (English-Hindi)

Author : Meren Imchen
Illustrator : Meren Imchen

A farmer shouts at the sun because it is too hot to work in the field. The sun gets upset, goes away and refuses to return. Finally, a rooster tricks the sun to shine again – every day from then on. This engaging tale is based on a folktale of the Ao tribe in Nagaland. The artist-animator's illustrations are luminous and dynamic, based on his animation film on the same story.
