In the story the earth on turtles back its basically a magical story talking about how life began on earth. In the story it talks about how a women was falling from the sky and she must symbolize the first human on earth. Also they talk about how there is earth at the bottom of the oceans and how all the animals tried to swim down and grab some earth. The characters in the story are all talking animals like the turtle and the swan and the muskrat. I feel like this story is a little amusing if you like fairy tales its more of something you should read to little kids and it was very short and also in some ways a little confusing.
