In the beginning there was only the air and the ocean. In the air existed a Sky World where the gods lived. The was a married couple who lived in the Sky World. The wife was pregnant and had many particular cravings. The husband, fed up with his wife's demands, "accidently" pushed her down a hole near the tree of life. Long story short...she has a daughter who later births twins, a left handed twin and a right handed twin. The left handed is born out of the woman's mouth subsequently killing the woman. The right handed one is born the normal way and ends up angere with his brother. They fight back and forth for many years and compete by creating new life forms. At the end, the right handed twin kills the left handed one. The grand mother is very angy about this, but the right handed twin accuses her of always standing up for the left handed twin's murder of their mother. The right handed twin kills the grandmother and throws her head into the sky where she becomes the moon! What a crazy story huh?
