“Now then, people, you will have to turn into various forms. As 
many as are the beasts, as such you will find your sustenance. Every 
mortal man will overcome you, when off in the future he grows forth into 
life. But as for me, there in middle space I shall be, where are three stars. 
Forever I shall live. And as for this my younger brother, there shall be 
twain stars, and forever shall my brother live. For our Father has planned 
that we shall make way for mortal man to grow forth here on this earth.” 
This is as far as this sacred story goes.
