Why the Sky Is Far Away | An Igbo Legend of Gratitude and Excess | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents the Igbo folklore tale: Why the Sky Is Far Away.
In the earliest days of the world, the sky hung close to the Earth, serving as a limitless source of food for all. Whenever hunger struck, people simply reached up and broke off a piece of the sky, which tasted like whatever they desired most. But as the people grew comfortable, they became greedy—taking more than they needed and wasting the sky’s precious gift. When a woman’s carelessness finally pushed the sky too far, it withdrew, leaving humanity to learn the true value of labor and gratitude.
📖 In this story:
A classic Igbo legend that explores the dangers of taking abundance for granted. It is a timeless reminder that generosity should be met with respect, not excess. The sky’s withdrawal teaches us that when we lose our gratitude and give in to greed, we risk losing the very blessings that sustain us, proving that we must cherish what we have before it is gone.
