In the country of Peace Piece, all the children would go to sleep at night only

when the Knight flew over their houses and sang melodious lullabies to them.
One Saturday night, none of the children went to sleep because the Knight of
the Night was late.
All the mothers were angry and started to complain about the delay. Finally,
one of the mothers went to meet him.
The Knight of the Night apologised and said, “I’m sorry. I was very busy. I
was cleaning the whole day.”
“I still have a lot to do tonight. Tomorrow is Sunday, a holiday, and everything
has to look clean, tidy and pretty.”
The mother asked, “What do you have to do?”
“I have to put the sun to sleep and wake the moon up,” said the Knight of the
Night.
“After that, I have to go to the gardens and check whether the wind has blown
the dust off the grass and the flowers.”
“Then, I have to go up to the sky, bring down the stars and make them shiny
and bright, and put them back in their places.”
The surprised mother said, “You can’t put the sun to sleep, wake the moon up
or bring down the stars!”
The Knight of the Night was angry on hearing this. He said, “I know what I’m
doing!”
The mother was so confused. She wanted to write a report because she was
right.
When she peeped through the window, she saw the children were already fast
asleep.
She did not want to argue with the Knight of the Night, so she went home. She
never found out if the Knight of the Night was actually telling the truth.
