the beginning there existed only the Sea
and the Sky and their friend Bird who flew
between them. Sea and Sky got married
and gave birth to a child named Bamboo.
Bird got tired and took a rest perching on
the shoot, then it heard some voices asking
it to free it. It pecked at Bamboo, effectively
killing him and broke him open, and a naked
man and woman came out, they were

Chosen where they would live and start
