Ngày xưa, xưa thật là xưa, khi bóng đêm chiếm toàn bộ trái đất, bóng đêm tự cho mình là độc tôn, là duy nhất. Thời gian dần trôi, bên cạnh bóng đêm còn có ánh sáng mặt trời, ánh sáng của những vì sao le lói. Bóng đêm bây giờ không là duy nhất nữa. Phải chia sẻ khoảng không gian sống cho một kẻ có tên là ánh sáng .  Thế là bóng đêm rất ghét ánh sáng , ghét nhiều đến nỗi , bóng đêm chẳng thèm để ý đến ánh sáng nữa. Hễ đâu có ánh sáng thì bóng đêm quay lưng đi, chẳng cần nhìn làm gì, chẳng cần tiếp xúc với cái luồng sáng chói chang ấy. Bóng đêm là thế, có gì đó cô độc và lạnh lùng, vì muôn loài bây giờ chỉ thích ánh sáng thôi. Muôn loài vui chơi, đùa giỡn, sinh hoạt và lao động cùng ánh sáng. Còn khi bóng đêm đến, muôn loài chỉ muốn ngủ hoặc ngồi nhìn ngắm mà chẳng hề vui đùa với Bóng đêm. Thế là đêm thật buồn, thật cô độc và lạnh lẽo. Từ khi ánh sáng xuất hiện, bóng đêm ghét ánh sáng, hận ánh sáng, giờ đây bóng đêm tuyệt giao với ánh sáng và cũng chả thèm muôn loài. Mặc kệ, bó...
