[00:03:07]In the beginning, there were no people on the earth. Lumawig, the great spirit, came down from the sky >> [music] >> and cut many reeds. He divided this into pairs, which he placed in different parts of the world. And then he said to them, "You must speak."

[00:03:27]Immediately, [music] the reeds became people. And in each place was a man and a woman who could talk. But, the language of each couple differed from that of the others.

[00:03:38][music] What do you think will happen next in the story?

[00:03:46]Then Lumawig commanded each man and woman to marry, which they did. By and by, there were many children, all speaking the same language as their parents. These, in turn, married and had many children. In this way, there came to be many people on the earth.

[00:04:08]Now, Lumawig saw that there were several things which the people on the earth needed to use. So, he set to work to supply them.

[00:04:18]He created salt and told the inhabitants of one place to boil it down and sell it to their neighbors. But, these people could not understand the directions of the great spirit. [music] And the next time he visited them, they had not touched the salt.

[00:04:36]What do you think will Lumawig do? What makes you think so?

[00:04:42]Then, he took it away from them and gave it to the people of a place called Mayoyao.

[00:04:47]These did as he directed. And, because of this, he told them that they should always be owners of the salt and that the other peoples must buy of them.

[00:05:02]Then, Lumawig went to the people of Bontoc and told them to get clay and make pots. They got the clay, but they did not understand [music] the molding and the jars were not well shaped.

[00:05:16]Because of their failure, Lumawig told them that they would always have to buy their jars. And he removed the pottery to Samoki. [music] When he told the people there what to do, they did just as he said. And their jars were well shaped and beautiful. Then, the great spirit saw [music] that they were fit owners of the pottery. And he told them that they should always make many jars to sell.
