In the past, the moon was as bright as the sun. This meant that the poeple couldn't tell when it was day-time or night-time. There were all kinds of problems like not knowing when to go to sleep or when to wake up. Then the Lord realized what was happening and sent an angel to spread his wings and make the moon's light a bit dull and less brighter. This is also the reason for all the marks that are left on the surface of the moon. They are left from the scratches made by the angels wings. This is also why the moon is not as bright as the sun.
