One day, long ago, the Wind and the Lightning met on the top
of a mountain. Said the Wind, "I am greater than you." Then the
Lightning answered, "I am greater than you because when I destroy
a tree, I make it live again. But when you have it for food, it
dies." Then said the Wind again, "When I eat it, it lives again."
Then said the Lightning, "Then we will go to a large rock, so
that you can break the rock to pieces. Because if you do not
break the rock to pieces and then return the broken pieces,
I win against you."
Then the Wind blew hard, but the rock was not broken. Immediately
then the Lightning broke the rock, and then put it back
together. The Lightning said, "I win against you, because you
did not break the rock."
Then they took their nets and went to fish. The Wind fished,
and he caught one lobster and one small eel. The Lightning said,
"I will fish." He caught many large fish. He said to the Wind,
"You cook."
The Wind took one chupa (of rice) to cook. The Lightning said,
"Not that much. The pot will not contain it. I shall cook so that
you will see."
The Lightning went immediately and cooked. He immediately got one
grain of rice, and put it into the pot. The grain of rice filled
the pot.
