1 In the beginning, the sky was close to the earth, and the
people didn’t have to work for their food. All they had to do was
cut away a piece of sky to eat. It tasted delicious, like meat or
corn or honey or anything else they felt like eating. Since they
didn’t have to hunt for their food, all they did was weave and
carve and tell stories all day.
2 When the great King Oba wanted to give a party, his
servants would cut out pieces of the sky and shape them into
wonderful forms—animals, diamonds, leaves, or flowers.
3 But as time went on, the people forgot to appreciate the
sky. They took their food for granted, and they became
wasteful. They cut far more sky than they needed and threw
what they didn’t use onto the garbage heap.
