In the beginning of times, Yuri the All-Mother gave birth to the world. And the afterbirth of the world became the sun and the moon and the stars. Yuri the All-Mother gave birth to the beasts and birds and fishes. And the afterbirth of the beasts and birds and fishes became the trees and shrubs and grasses. Yuri the All-Mother said to herself, "This is all good. I shall make myself a servant, who will keep and cultivate this for me." And so Yuri the All-Mother gave birth to Eka, the first person.

And Yuri the All-Mother spoke to Eka and said, "This is all yours, to keep and to cultivate. Learn now the world and all that is therein. And if you know not what to do, cry unto me and I will come unto you again."

And for a time, Eka was content. She walked the world and marvelled at all that was therein. She beheld the sun and the moon and the stars and spoke their names. She beheld the trees and shrubs and grasses and spoke their names. She beheld the beasts and birds and fishes and spoke their names.

But after a time, Eka saw that she was the only one of her kind. And she felt lonely. And so Eka thought to herself, "I shall make myself a friend, one who will make my life good." And Eka beheld the beasts and the birds and the fishes, how they mate with a male and give birth to others of their kind. And Eka resolved to do likewise, to mate with a male and give birth to another of her kind.

So Eka went forth and she met a wolf. Eka spoke to the wolf and said, "Wolf, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the wolf spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the wolf and she gave birth to the dog. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met a boar. Eka spoke to the boar and said, "Boar, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the boar spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the boar and she gave birth to the pig. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met a woodcock. Eka spoke to the woodcock and said, "Woodcock, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the woodcock spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the woodcock and she gave birth to the chicken. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met an aurochs. Eka spoke to the aurochs and said, "Aurochs, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the aurochs spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the aurochs and she gave birth to the cow. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met a mountain goat. Eka spoke to the mountain goat and said, "Mountain goat, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the mountain goat spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the mountain goat and she gave birth to the goat. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka spoke to herself and said, "I am lonely. I have mated with many males but I am still lonely." And she lay down on the ground and wept bitter tears, for her heart was heavy with sorrow. And the bitter tears of Eka wakened the compassion of Rato, goddess of the soil. And Rato came to Eka and said to her, "Eka, will you mate with me and be made glad?" And Eka answered to her and said, "Indeed I will, Rato, for my heart is heavy with sorrow." And so Rato mated with Eka and Eka was made glad. And Rato gave birth to the rice. And Rato gave the rice to Eka and she said to her, "This is your friend and it will make your life good", and so she went away. And Eka said to herself, "It is my friend and it will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met a wild carp. Eka spoke to the wild carp and said, "Wild carp, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the wild carp spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the wild carp and she gave birth to the koi. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka spoke to herself and said, "I am lonely. I have mated with many males but I am still lonely." And she lay down on the ground and wept bitter tears, for her heart was heavy with sorrow. And the bitter tears of Eka wakened the compassion of Rato, goddess of the soil. And Rato came to Eka and said to her, "Eka, will you mate with me and be made glad?" And Eka answered to her and said, "Indeed I will, Rato, for my heart is heavy with sorrow." And so Rato mated with Eka and Eka was made glad. And Rato gave birth to the taro. And Rato gave the taro to Eka and she said to her, "This is your friend and it will make your life good", and so she went away. And Eka said to herself, "It is my friend and it will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka went forth and she met an onager. Eka spoke to the onager and said, "Onager, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the onager spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the onager and she gave birth to the donkey. And Eka said to herself, "She is my friend and she will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

So Eka spoke to herself and said, "I am lonely. I have mated with males without number but I am still lonely." And she lay down on the ground and wept bitter tears, for her heart was heavy with sorrow. And the bitter tears of Eka wakened the compassion of Rato, goddess of the soil. And Rato came to Eka and said to her, "Eka, will you mate with me and be made glad?" And Eka answered to her and said, "Indeed I will, Rato, for my heart is heavy with sorrow." And so Rato mated with Eka and Eka was made glad. And Rato gave birth to the banana. And Rato gave the banana to Eka and she said to her, "This is your friend and it will make your life good", and so she went away. And Eka said to herself, "It is my friend and it will make my life good, but I am still lonely."

And then an ape jumped down from a tree and cried to Eka in a great voice, "Give me the banana, for I want to eat it right now!" And the ape ran at Eka and struck her with his fists and tried to take the banana from her. And so Eka took a stone and smote the ape in the forehead and struck his head in two and killed him. And the blood of the ape ran into the ground and made the soil wet with his blood.

So Eka cried unto Yuri the All-Mother and said, "I am lonely. I have mated with males without number but I am still lonely." And Yuri the All-Mother came unto Eka and said to her, "Take of the soil that is wet with the blood of the ape, and make of it a semblance of yourself." And Eka took of the soil that was wet with the blood of the ape, and made of it a semblance of herself. And Yuri the All-Mother breathed unto the soil figurine, and behold: it was a male like unto Eka and but half her size.

So Eka spoke to the male and said, "Male, will you mate with me so I can make myself a friend?" And the male spoke to Eka and said, "Indeed I will, for mating is my greatest joy." And so Eka mated with the male and she gave birth to Tosa, the second person. And Tosa spoke to Eka and said, "Eka, I am your friend and I will make your life good."

And so Eka and Tosa lived together and prospered. They mated often with each other and were made glad. They mated often with the male and gave birth to many daughters. But one day Eka mated with the male and gave birth to a male child. The male beheld this and cried to Eka in a great voice, "Give me the cub, for I want to kill him right now!" And the male ran at Eka and struck her with his fists and tried to take the cub from her. And so Eka took a stone and smote the male in the forehead and struck his head in two and killed him. And the blood of the male ran into the ground and made the soil wet with his blood.

And so Tosa made a sturdy hut for the male child to be kept in. And when he was weaned, Tosa took him from Eka and put him in the hut. And Tosa kept the male in the hut from that time forth. And he was taken from the hut only when Eka or Tosa or one of their daughters wished to give birth. And so it is done even down to this day.
