There once was a young boy who lived in the tribe on uppanaka he was only 8 but he was greatly cherished by the elder people around him for he was the chiefs son. His father was the best hunter of the tribe and knew how to use the land to catch his pray. His dad uses the sky and which way the clouds move to tell where the next watering hole or the next place where the animals will be. The young boy looks up to his father and wanted to know how the sky was created and how it helps his father so much. "Come my child for I am growing older and soon this will be your tribe, come learn the ways of the land". Without hesitation the boy ran to the woods. As they were going out for a hunt a huge storm was building and they had to return to their tribe before they could hunt. " See father this is why I hate the sky!" " Now son you don’t know the first thing about the sky or how it works. Come listen" so the father told the young boy how important the sky is and how it came to be." The great creator set his eye on this earth and made the land we live on. He first made the land then the lakes then the sun but without the sky all of his creations could not last. So he made the sky this beautiful blue sky that tells us where to go!" " How father?" well son the when the great creator was making the earth he had no way to water the grass provide wind for the waves in the lake and no way to maintain the rivers and ponds with water. The way the sky waters the earth and the ponds brings together animals for the water and fertilizes the ground to make our crops!"
