As our father came to consciousness, he thought of the (substance) 

 he was sitting on. His tears flowed and he cried, (but not long did he 

 think of it). He saw nothing. Indeed, nothing was there anywhere. 

 He took something of the substance he was sitting on, and made a 

 little piece of earth for them (our ancestors), and from the place on 

 which he sat (he) cast it down below. Then he looked at what he had 

 made, and he saw that it had become very similar to our earth. But 

 nothing grew upon it; bare it was, and not quiet, but revolving. " How 

 shall I make it become quiet?" he (Earth-Maker) thought. Then 

 (from what he was sitting on) he took some grass and cast it toward 

 the earth; and he looked upon what he had made, but it was not quiet.
