The Earth
After the Universe had been filled with stars Ket NEH-toh-rob continued to gently tumble through space. He tumbled for a long, long time. Gradually he slowed down and came to rest in an upright position.
Then Ket Nehtohrob felt another strange rumbling in his gut. Suddenly he farted. It was a huge silver-blue fart. A very, very long fart. It smelled like clean, crisp mountain air, and it became our sky.
Then the Divine Child peed. It landed on the highest mountain. The pee became the first river. It was pure and clean, and smelled like icy winter moss. At that time winter still ruled over the earth, and there were no living things whatsoever.
Lehuoh and Setuweh
In the ancient time of the long winter, there was a river that ran through the land. It began in the highest mountain. It was pure and clean, and smelled like icy winter moss. Its name was Leh-U-oh. Lehuoh meandered amongst the rocks and pebbles, picking up tiny bits of sand as he swept along. He was quite unaware of himself. He was the only active thing in the world, and there was no one else for him to know.
Soon Lehuoh came to a cliff. He went crashing over the edge and fell toward the rocks below. A small lake began to form there. Because it was still very cold in those days, the river called Lehuoh began to freeze as he passed through the cold air on the way to the rocks below. Gradually some of him was becoming solid ice. So now there was falling water and freezing water. Eventually so much frozen water accumulated that there was a solid bridge between the top of the waterfall and the rocks below.
Because the water that flowed through the land had been gradually picking up tiny bits of sand, it had become somewhat muddy. As the muddy water flew over the cliff and fell to the rocks at the bottom of the frozen waterfall, Lehuoh and Setuweh began to form muddy bodies. First they gained feet and legs. Then their torsos and arms formed. Then their heads formed. Their muddy bodies were dried by the air and warmed by the sun. The mud gradually got harder and harder. Soon the mud became like flesh and bone, and Lehuoh and Setuweh were transformed into human-like boys!
So the first living beings were formed from earth, water, air, and fire. The four sacred elements combined to bring about the first life. Lehuoh became a big boy and Setuweh became a young man. They were giants. They were each bigger than a hundred human boys. They were giant mud boys.
