--By Taylor Scott

Narrator: Taylor Scott
Sun God: Lauren Lee
Rain God: Sasha Farfel
Wind God: Megan Griffin
Peace God: Carolyn Wanberg

Narrator: The Inacana people believed that gods made them. The Sun God

Sun God: Hello. (Cheerful tone)

Narrator: Rain God

Rain God: Hello. (Dreary tone) sniff

Narrator: The Wind God

Wind God: Hello�Cough, cough.

Narrator: and the Peace God.

Peace God: Hello. (Smooth and smart)

Narrator: The Sun was always cheerful. When he walked around he set off a bright glow that filled everyone's heart with happiness.

Sun God: walk around with smile on face and look cheerful and happy

All the other Gods, except Rain God: when the Sun God walks by, suddenly become cheerful too

Narrator: The Rain God was just the Opposite; very sad. He looked everywhere for happiness but, he couldn't find any, every thing made him cry, even when he looked to the Sun God.

Rain God: Look to Sun God but turn away gloomy

Narrator: He had a mustache and a beard that were always covered in little water droplets that dripped and left puddle trails where ever he went. The Wind God was very cold and harsh. He got mad a lot and howled.

Wind God: Act mean and harsh, blow hard.

Narrator: Whenever he howled, great swirls of cold air shot out of his mouth.

The Peace God was very different from the rest of the Gods. He was very calm and looked like, a painting with very smooth strokes.

Peace God: move gracefully.

Narrator: He was very proud and wise. His mustache was long and thin and curled on both ends.

All the Gods: I want something to rule other than the boring ol', heavens!!!!!

Peace God: How about we create a smaller "Surface" where we can put all we want to rule. Anything that we created could be on that "Surface" and we could add or remove things. We'll call it Earth.

Rain god: That sounds like a good idea.

Said unsure. Sniff, sniff.

Wind god: I hate it when you call me that but yeah I think it's a pretty good idea. Let's try it.

Narrator: So, they all got together the next day and decided on what they would do.

All Gods: Huddle together.

BREAK!!!

Peace God: Since we are all so different and have different talents, why don't we do different things to help create Earth.

Sun God: I want to be in charge of making and providing food, liquids, and shelter for the people who will live on Earth. I will make forests full of trees and plants that will provide food. I will also create water for them to drink and forests. The people will be smart enough to make shelters out of the trees and plants by themselves.

Rain god: I want to make animals that Will prance and run and jump on Earth. I will make little clay figures with two or four less. Each animal will have two of a kind; a male and a female. I will make twenty different kinds of animals. Sniff, sniff.

Wind God: I want to make the stars and light fort the planet. I will create a huge Sun, which will provide light and warmth, and the Moon, which will give a little light in the darkness, and the stars which will flicker and sparkle at night.

Peace God: I want the most important job of all, I want to create the people. I know they have to be made of flesh so I will cut off two of my left foot's toes, naming the larger one male and the slightly smaller one female.

Narrator: The people reproduced to make a civilization. Then the Gods looked down on them as their own and watched over them at all times. When the people made the Rain god sad he cried and Water fell from the Heavens to the Earth.

Rain god: pretend to cry.

Narrator: When the people made the Wind god mad, he blew cold blasts of wind down to Earth.

Wind god: Blow.

Narrator: The Sun and Peace gods watched in amazement as their creations grew into the Inacana civilization.
