Ikto said, “I have created all things.”
“But I will show you something new,” said Rabbit. Therefore Ikto consented. He let go of Rabbit.
Rabbit stood in front of Ikto and said, “Elder brother, if you wish snow to fall at any time, take some hair such as this,”—and he pulled out some of his rabbit fur—“and blow it in all directions; there will be a blizzard.”
Rabbit made a deep snow in this way, though the leaves were green.
At once, Ikto began to pull his own fur and say magic words. Rabbit made a long leap and ran away. Ikto pulled his fur and blew it about. But there was no snow. Then he pulled more fur, and blew it about. Still there was no snow. It was only rabbit fur that made the snow.
