fore the lesser spirits resolved to de-

they caused the great river to rise un-

everything. They themselves took each

that they might create new world
and quantity of maize, which had
been their particular food, and return

heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains

not bring such burdens of earth into
heaven. Accordingly they dropped
them all then and there. These falling
masses made a great heap on the top

The rock masses upon it and all

the region prove that the earth's choic-
