The Story of Beginning
|
|
|
|
In the beginning there was only water. A strong wind blew over it and
|
|
brought with it some earth. This earth slowly sank to the bottom of the
|
|
water.
|
|
|
|
One day a god was moving above the waters, and saw that the mud had sunk
|
|
to the bottom of the waters. They decided to empty out some of the water.
|
|
Days went by, but finally they could see the tops of piles of mud sticking
|
|
out of the water. They were satisfied with this, and called the mud that
|
|
had come exposed "land".
|
|
|
|
The land was still barren, so the god went looking for somebody to settle
|
|
it. At first they tried asking all the fish, but none were interested.
|
|
Then they asked the stars, but they were not interested either. Finally,
|
|
they asked the birds, who liked being able to land, but did not want to
|
|
stay either. The god decided that if nobody wanted to live on the land,
|
|
they needed to create something to live there themself.
|
|
|
|
The god took some of the mud and started chewing on it. When they spit it
|
|
out, it grew legs and walked onto the land. They repeated this several
|
|
times, until the land was full of all kinds of walking and crawling
|
|
creatures. The fish, the birds, and the stars got curious of what was
|
|
happening and came to see. When they saw the land animals, they were joyed
|
|
and wanted to give a gift to them. The gift was plants.
|
|
|
|
After the creation of the land animals and the gift of the plants, the god
|
|
was still feeling like something was missing from the land. They took some
|
|
mud, but this time instead of chewing on it they kneaded it and shaped it
|
|
with their hands. The result of this was humans, and this finally
|
|
satisfied the god.
