| Introduction, followed by a 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. | |
