Do you know about how the day named Monday lost its glory?
I’ll tell you.
There was once, a day called Monday and he was always the start of the week until… Some random dude made Monday the second day of the week!
And guess who got first?
Sunday.
Monday’s greatest enemy. Monday was so mad.
Monday had a duel with Sunday but got defeated because Sunday was stronger.
Everyone doubted Monday because of the fight. Monday was also kicked out of the week.
Soon, Monday accepted his defeat. He realised that no one is perfect and no one ever has all of the glory even if they’re the best at something.
So, Monday thought he should apologise to Sunday.
Sunday told the other days that Monday should get reinstated into the week.
They all thought about it for a while then told Monday he was back in the week.
Monday was so grateful.
Monday accepted that he still didn’t have much glory, but Monday was grateful that he was in the week with his best buddies.
He even made friends with Sunday!
And from this day on, Sunday has always been the first day of the week, Monday was second.
No one knew this…until you did.
