..::The Origin of the World::..
Long ago, the world had not yet existed and in fact there was nothing at all on the face of the earth except for a round piece of rock.
One day the rock split and inside the rock were two children, a boy and a girl. They came out of the rock and stood on it. From inside the rock, underneath them, a stream of water flowed.
These children grew up to become knowledgeable adults and they sought to form the world. One day, the man sensed an aura of energy in the air. When he reached out for it with his hand, he noticed that it bore a smell. He brought his hand to his nose and smelled the aroma of the sky. Immediately he desired to form it. The woman too smelled another aura of energy in the air. She reached out for it and it smelled of the earth. With that she desired to form land for the world they sought to create.
Together, they sat for the night and started their work. The man began to form a piece of sky and the woman used her hands to mold some earth. As the man forged, the sky in his hands began to grow and widen. The piece of earth between the woman’s hands also began to grow. But very soon, the man became sleepy and went to sleep for awhile. The woman was still wide-awake and continued to work on forming the land. When the woman realized that her piece of land had grown so much more than the man’s piece of sky, she woke him up.
“Come on now, wake up and continue forming the sky. Look, my piece of land is getting quite large. Soon you would not have enough sky for my land,” she told him.
The man was disgruntled but nevertheless woke up to work on his sky. So there they were again, forming the sky and land for the world they were creating.
Both the man and woman sensed that their handiwork was indeed getting larger. But goodness gracious! The man fell asleep again. Meanwhile the woman was tirelessly forming the earth in between her hands so that they will become lands. So diligent was she that she could actually sneak in a break and have a short nap as her hands continued forming land!..::Page 1::.. ..::Page 2::..
