• Long ago there was a bird named Raven. All he saw
  was darkness in the world. Then he searched for
  light and finally he saw a speck of light. Then
  he went to find the light.

• He flew across valleys and mountains. The light
  came from the sky chiefs palace. He perched high
  in the tree. He saw the sky chiefs daughter and
  the sky chiefs daughter was drinking water.
  Raven turned himself into a pine needle and fell
  into the basket. Then the sky chiefs daughter
  drank the pine needle.

• After drinking water, later on she gave birth to
  a child. His name was Raven.

• Raven was reborn as a little boy child. He had
  shiny black hair and tiny black eyes. After a
  time he was crawling trying to find the light. He
  found the light ball.

• Raven cried and cried to have the box. So his
  mother opened the box and there was a smaller
  box. She opened the lid and there was another
  smaller box. She opened the last one and light
  poured all over the room. She gave him the light
  ball. He immediately changed into a bird.

• Then he flew away in the dark sky with the light
  ball in his beak. Raven threw the sun in the dark
  and it stayed there. The people feed Raven for
  bringing them the light.
