Now,  when  this  earth  was  under  water,  NUnabushu  (had)  a
great  raft.  With  Ntoabushu  was  also  his  younger  brother.  Now,
what  they  purposed  doing  he  said  to  his  younger  brother:  "Ay,
we  will  create  this  earth. "

Verily,  then  they  created  it.  And  when  they  had  finished  the
earth,  again  spoke  NlUiabushu  to  his  younger  brother,  saying:
"Now,  therefore,  must  you  and  I  live  alone?  Why,  now,  let  us
create  some  people. "

Verily,  out  of  earth  they  fashioned  forms,  whereupon  then
they  created  a  man.  And  when  they  had  finished  making  (the
man),  then  it  was  that  they  made  all  the  animal-kind  that  we  see
here  on  earth.  And  some  are  not  (to  be)  seen  (now).  Every  kind
of  creature  (NlUiabushu)  created.  Then  it  was  that  he  created
some  evil  manitous.  And  when  he  had  created  (all  living  things),
this  then  he  said  to  the  man:^  "Now,  to  a  clean  spft  on  the  earth
do  you  go  and  remain,'*  Ntoabushu  said  to  him.  After  this  he
went  out  with  the  man.  Thereupon  he  put  him  there  at  the  place.
