Once, Grandfather Sky held Grandmother Earth in a loving embrace
and the Sky and the Earth were together. Our horses rode equally well upon
Earth and Sky and flew between them at will. Then Grandmother Earth bore
a new son, he was Grandfather Storm and was a noisy baby, always crying
so that Grandfather Sky got a headache. Grandmother Earth was tired with
all the crying and she forgot to wash the baby's nappy away from everyone
and she hung it on her fence foe everyone to see. Grandfather Sky was so
ashamed that he pulled away from Grandmother Earth and became far away.
At this, Grandfather Storm stopped crying and ran around waving his nappy
in the air and ran nine times around the world. Behind him wafted the smell
of his nappy and everyone was ashamed of what he was doing. The Thunderer
chased him and tried to stop him, but could not catch him properly.
That is why the Sun and the Sky are so far away.
