Sapling created what is good. He made animals that are useful to humans; rivers that went two ways; and into these he put fish without bones. He made plants that people could eat easily. If he was able to have his way, there would be no suffering. But Flint destroyed much of Sapling's work and created all that is bad.

Flint made rivers flow only in one direction and put bones in fish and thorns on berry bushes. He created winter (but Sapling gave it life so that it could move to give way to Spring). Flint created monsters which his brother drove beneath the Earth.

Eventually Sapling and Flint decided to fight until one conquered the other. Neither was able to win at first, but finally Flint was beaten. Because he was a god, Flint could not die; so he was forced to live on Big Turtle's back. Occasionally his anger is felt in the form of a volcano.

One day, you appeared on the Big Turtle's back, the first one who saw you was Sapling, his twin brother Flint saw you next.

Sapling: waves and says cheerfully "Hello!"

Flint: his tone was cold "Hi.."
