As the great horned-cat I enjoyed stalking my prey in the tall grasses of my home world. Unsuspecting people going about their daily routine would erupt into chaos whenever I would pounce into their view, as if they could change their fate. I had already chosen my victims by the time they knew I was in their presence. I never missed.
The humans would go down like salty snacks and I was so happy. Until a giant human, even more cunning than me had devised a trap to end my free and happy time on my planet. I heard some voices in the tall grass and went to get a bite to eat and to be happy. Suddenly there was a bright and blinding light which hurt my eyes. The giant had thrown a very large sun disk into the tall grass which began to incinerate everything around me. I tried to jump far away from the heat, only to find that I had been trapped in a very large jar with the sun disk. I kept falling toward the sun disk and leaping off of it soas not to get burned. Every time I would try to bounce away from the disk, I would hit my great horns on the side of the large, black jar creating pinholes which allowed the light to come through from outside.
By the time fatigue made me no longer able to jump away from the burning disk, I had created the stars in the sky and finally fell to my incineration onto the sun. My bones exploded into the planets which became the solar system.
