| Introduction, followed by story told by Ben Haggarty. A giant first-being is created from the melt water of fire and ice. This first-being squeezes four more giants, two male and two female, from under its arms and behind its knees. Frightened, they run from the first being, up into the mountains of ice. A cow feeds the first-being. The cow licks a second beautiful-being from the ice. This being goes into the mountains and marries a giantess and give birth to 3 gods. The 3 gods come down from the mountains of ice to create a world from the body of the first-being, who they slaughter. | |
