The Navajo Origin Legend

I think that this short story was very dull. The Navajo Origin Legend describes a ritual preformed by the gods and then Mirage people. The rituals they did were to create life. The white ear of corn was changed into a man and the yellow ear of corn was changed into a women. The wind gave them life, this means that the oxegen we breathe made them live. It explains when the wind ceases to blow, we die, this is true because without air we cannot survive. The gods created the man and the women and told them they must be husband and wife, and live together, and that is how this story of how the world was created started. This story was kind of confusing at first, it was short but alot of stuff at once. I didnt enjoy reading it.
