Translation: The Creation of the World Long, long ago, there were nine suns in the heaven which burned the earth. Because a brother and younger sister hid in a great cypress (that honored the gods), they were not burned to death. Later, in order to propagate descendants, the brother and sister talked it over and decided that each would carry a stone mill on his or her back and roll it down from the mountain peak. If the two stone mills joined together, the two could get married. As it happened, when the two stone mills rolled down (to the river bank) they joined together, and so the brother and sister married. After a few years, the younger sister gave birth to a monster not of human form. The older brother was so angry he used a curved knife/scythe to chop it into pieces and scattered them wildly everywhere. The next day when they got up, they saw the smoke of cooking fires everywhere. And henceforth there was humankind.

The girl carried the momo and was crying and crying as she followed behind Uncle Snake. They kept going until they came to a pile of rocks, and then Uncle Snake disappeared. He had gone into the pile through a crevice in the rocks. The girl continued to cry in the courtyard beside the pile of rocks. In fact, Uncle Snake was a god and he sent a chicken to call the girl. The chicken called, ÆÆAunt-in-lawflfl three times, but the girl didnflt understand and still cried there. Later, the chicken went in and a dog was sent out to call the girl to come inside. The dog also barked two times, but the girl still didnflt understand, and still cried there. In like manner a pig was sent to call her, and the girl still didnflt understand and so didnflt enter. Finally, an old woman came out to call her (Snakefls mother came out to call her), and said to the girl, ÆÆChild, what are you crying about? Donflt cry. Iflve sent many to call you, but you havenflt come in, so I came out myself.flfl The girl said, ÆÆI didnflt understand.flfl The old mother- in-law said, ÆÆIf you didnflt understand, close your eyes and hold on to my clothes, and come with me.flfl When they went in, she gave the girl something (skupu), and she went back inside.
