Have you ever had a tough time getting along with someone? It happens to all of us. We have that

sibling or friend or classmate we always seem to be bumping heads with. We're about to

meet two sisters who have trouble

getting along, and what happens to these quibbling siblings is out of this world.

I'm Rebecca Shear, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time. Today, our story

is called Diamonds in the Sky.

It was inspired by tales told in the Philippines,

a Southeast Asian country consisting of more than 7,000 islands in the South China,

Philippine and Celebese seas.

Some really great people came together to bring you our version of this folktale, including Mila Harris and Kiriana Crater.

Mila Harris stars in the recent Netflix film Mary.

She'll next be seen in the sci-fi action movie World Breaker.

Kariana Crater has appeared on the Disney comedy series Bunkt and the CBS sitcom, The United States of Al.

She most recently starred in Star Wars Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus.

So, circle around everyone.

For Diamonds in the Sky.

Long, long ago, when the world was much younger than it is now, two sisters lived on an island with their mother.

The sisters' names were Aral and Buwan, and they were as different as day and night. Not that the sisters would have known what day and night were,

because long, long ago, day and night didn't exist. There was no sun, no moon either, so the sky

always took on a dim cast of twilight. Now, like we said, Arow and Buon were very different. Arau was warm-hearted and good-natured.

Look at this bouquet of lilies I picked for mother, Buon. Don't these smell lovely?
