Even was there no earth, but only the blue sky and the clouds and the sunshine and the rain. The Manltou the ndwelt only in the center of the sky where he lived all alone, for there were no other gods in heaven. Then as now he was ruler of the sky and the sun and the rain. The lightning and the thunder too were at his command, and the sun shone and the rain fell at his desire. ' But by and by he grew tired and lonely and wished for new things to see and new work to do.
