The Earth On Turtle's Back

Let me just say this is the most amazing thing I've read besides the poem "Richard Cory"! This reading starts off by describing how only water existed before the earth did. Next, it talks about a the wife of  an ancient chief and how she has a dream about a tree. The woman then tells the chief about her dream and he demands to have it removed so it gets removed by the man himself. As his wife leans over to take a look at the trees' inside she slips and falls in as she holds the seeds she was going to use. As in the beginning was explained there were animals living in the water. This is what captures the lady's attention the thought of her seeing water inside the trees' trunk and that is why she falls in. The animals and birds inside the tree see the woman falling in so two swans decide to help her, they then think she is not like them and that she must live on earth. They believe the earth is under the water so they send each animal to get it but only one gets it, they then set the little piece of earth on a turtles' back. There is begins to grow the woman sets her seeds on earth and grass and trees begin to grow.
