Silver Fox and Coyote.

"Back then, Silver Fox was the only one living. There was no earth, only water. Silver Fox walked along through the fog, feeling lonely. So she began to sing:

"I want to meet someone" x4.

So she sang, and then she met Coyote. Then as they traveled, Silver Fox spoke. "Lets make the world."

"how will we do that?" Coyote said.

"We will sing the world," said Silver Fox.
So the two of them began to sing and dance.

"look down,"Silver Fox said, "do you see something?"

"I see something," Coyote said, "but it is very small."

"Then let us close our eyes and keep dancing and singing," said Silver Fox. They danced and sang and beneath them Earth took shape.

"Look down now," Silver Fox said.

Coyote looked down. "I see it, said Coyote. "it is big enough."

Then the two of them jumped down onto Earth. They danced and sang and stretched it out even more. They made everything on Earth, the valley's and the mountains, and the rivers and the lakes, the pines and the cedars and the birds and the animal people.
That is what they did way back then."
