In the very beginning there were no people, there was nothing at all. There was only the first duck, she was flying along. Having settled down for the night, the duck laid an egg. Then, her egg broke. The liquid of her egg poured out and formed a lake. And the egg shell became earth. And that is how the earth was created.
