The earth on Turtles back

This story is about how the earth began. The story begins with telling us about the skylands and how there is a chief, whoes in charge of all the skylands. The cheifs wife had a dream, this dream was about how there was a tree to be uprooted for great power was on there way after this. So the cheif ordered young men to uproot the tree. It took great strenghth because the roots of the tree were soo deep. When they finally managed to get the tree out of the ground, a huge whole in the ground appeared. The chiefs wife was ordered not to go near the hole, but she did not listen. Because of her not listening she fell straight down into the hole, down, down, down. When she thought she was falling to her death, two swans came swooping over and saved her. This world through the whole was all water, no land. The animals realized that she couldnt live in the water so they all tried there hardest to go to the bottom of the water and get some land. None of them sucedded, until the littlest one of them all, the tiny muskrat accomplished in getting a little soil from the bottom of the water. The soil was put on a turtles back and from there life had begun and things started to grow.
