How We Came to Live Here
Listen. This is a tale of our People.She-Climbs-to-the-Top climbed the ladder, rung on rung, for many days before she reached the sky. There was no opening in the sky of the Fourth World, and She-Climbs-to-the-Top searched for some time before she found a small crack. She dug into the sky at this crack, opening and widening it until she could squeeze through. When it was large enough, she climbed into the crack and emerged into the hot light of the sun.
This is how we came to live here. This is how we came to live in the Fifth World.
