Ee-ee-toy was once wandering along when he found some moss that had been left there ever since the flood, and he stood and looked at it, wondering how he could make it into a human being.
And while he watched it the sun breathed on it, and it became not a man, but a turtle.
And he wandered on again and found some driftwood, and while he stood wondering how to make it into a human being, the sun breathed on it, and it became a man, but he could not see its face, which was covered as with a mask.
And the turtle and the masked man, thus created, went westward, and came to a Blue Vahahkkee, and they went in and staid all night.
In the morning, when the sun rose, they were frightened at the blue beams that shone thru the vahahkkee, and they left.
And after going a little way they came to a Black Road, and Black Birds flew over them to keep them from being seen.
And they came to a Black Night. In that night was a Black Bow, which stretched as if it were going to shoot them, so that they were afraid to lie down all night.
And the next day they came to a Blue Road, and a flock of Blue Birds flew over them, and all around, striking them.
After a while they came to a Blue Night, and in the night was a Blue Bow, which stretched itself threateningly at them, as the Black Bow had done the night before.
And they could not sleep for fear that night, either; and the next day they came to a White Road, and a flock of White Birds followed them, striking them.
