Birth of Mother Nature 

This is a story of when the earth began. There were no other humans in existence, but there lived two superbeings–a man and a woman. The man and the woman were very much in love but longed for more, so they went to the creator and asked him to send them someone to share their love with. The creator agreed but warned that this could become a heavy burden. Soon after, they had a little girl they would name Storm. Storm was very special because, when she would cry, it would rain and, when she was happy, the sun would shine.

Storm and her mother possessed the same powers. They could grow plants with the wave of the hand. The mother began to teach Storm about her gift and how to use it.

One day, Storm became curious about the bright light in the sky, so she came up with an idea–she asked the man, ‘How strong are you?’ Then Storm said, ‘Throw me as high as you can.’

The man, thinking only with his strength, mustered all his strength and tossed Storm up so high. The man waited and waited for Storm to return, but he knew he had done something wrong because she was taking too long and it began to rain. The man wondered if he would ever see his daughter again.
