There was a time when nothing existed to form the universe--no earth, no
sky, and no sun or moon to break the monotony of the illimitable darkness.
But as time rolled on, a spot, a thin circular disc no larger than the
hand, yellow on one side and white on the other, appeared in midair.
Inside the disc sat a bearded man but little larger than a frog, upon whom
was to fall the task of creating all things. Kuterastan, The One Who Lives
Above, is the name by which he is now known, though some call him
Yuadistan, Sky Man.
