Okay, so Air, Earth, and Fire all have a legend of a giant animal as their first benders, and Water is all "we have the entire freaking moon!"
But like what if it was something completely different...
Air bender: Our first bender was a giant furry flying bison who taught us.
Earth bender: Our first bender was a giant furry badger mole digging in the ground.
Fire bender: Ours was a giant fire breathing dragon.
Water bender (probably also an ancient and direct ancestor of Sokka), who a month ago got his ass handed to him by a 6 inch octopus: *desperately looking around* The moon! Yup, most definitely. The moon. We just watched it push and pull the tides. For sure, it was the moon.
