ways caught them in the end till there was only one little piece of

dark left.

"I'll catch you!" said the sun. "No matter where you hide!"

"No, you won't!" said the dark. "I've thought of a lovely place

where you'll never find me. Now don't look! And count ten while I

go and hide."

So the sun hid behind a cloud and counted ten. Then it came

out to look.

"I expect it's hiding behind someone and being their

shadow!" said the sun. But though it looked everywhere it

couldn't find the dark.

It looked all day and all the next day but couldn't find it, and

indeed it never found it at all because the dark had found such a

wonderful place to hide — in the cupboard under the stairs.

"It is nice here!" thought the dark. "I think I'll stay here all

the time." And it did.

And that's why it's always dark in the cupboard under the

stairs.
