This piece consists of two short plays based on Haitian folklore. "Why the Sun Still Shines" tells how a wicked werewolf plots to steal the sun and plunge the world into everlasting darkness. In "This way or That?", a not-very-wise young traveler named Bouki angers the God of the Crossroads, and is forced to outwit stomping elephants, hungry "zeaubeaups" or cannibals, and the terrible two-headed dragon. Children participate as elephants, zeaubeaups, and an unusual group of villagers who do everything backwards.
