they had raged over. Snow and clods did not know that only part of the year belonged to them, they moved there and there until every green stalk was caught in an icy ahtem. Even the sun had not found its place during the day, it came down to earth when it wanted and in its scorching heat the water of the lakes and rivers evaporated.
Four-legged friends and birds didn't know any better either.If a hawk flew to a lake, it would catch one fish after the other and throw them on dry land until nothing moved in the water.
The deer trampled the grass with their hooves, tore up every stalk and herb and left the earth bare and barren when they wandered on.
These beavers built huge dams and dammed the water until there was no longer a dry patch on one side of the dam and streams and rivers dried up on the other side of the dam.
Our people, the wolves, also fell upon everything; they killed whatever came under their catches until they could no longer find any food. Then they became sick with hunger, the tears ran out for them, they withered and died. Only two puppies remained alive, they whined and complained, but there was no one to hear them, all the wolves were dead.
Waka, the law, saw the desolate world on which each creature was the enemy of the other. You don't deserve to live in my once beautiful world, said Waka and decided to destroy all living beings.When he was about to begin, he saw the two puppies huddled together and looking in vain for protection. And waka, the law has pity on them.
I have failed to teach my creatures the right way, said Waka, the law, that is why the beautiful world has become desolate. I want to save these two pups, the last of the wolves, they should be the firstborn of the new race.
Because Waka, the law, wanted it so, a bear took pity on the abandoned pups and took them into his den. A doe came and let the pups drink as if it were their own young. The puma and the birds of prey brought food. Squirrels, mice and rabbits played with them and passed the time. when the puppies were tired, the birds would chirp them to sleep.
All of this happened because Waka, the law, wanted it to be.
waka, the law, set about ordering the world so that every living being found its right place in it and knew what it was allowed to do and what it was not allowed to do.Waka, the law, showed the sun the way to take across the sky. And the sun wandered over the world, from one end to the other, and gave light and warmth to all creatures. When she went to sleep, the moon and stars came and lit up the darkness.
The winds learned that there was a time when they could storm there and a time when they had to lie down. Waka, the law, instructed the rivers where to flow and ordered them not to stray any more. The trees stopped growing in time and provided cool shade with their large crowns.
When spring came, ice and snow returned north. The mountains were also given their shape as we know them now.
Waka, the law, ordered the two firstborns to teach four-legged friends, birds and fish their order. The siblings wandered around for two years, until even the last, most inconspicuous creature knew what task the law intended for him.After the firstborn had completed their mission, they saw how beautiful the world was, how four-legged friends, birds and fish raised their young.
The sister dug a cave and gave birth to her young. And brother and sister, the firstborn of our people, raised the puppies and taught them Waka's way, just as they passed it on to their puppies. When the siblings grew very old, they left the world and went into the hereafter, where Waka awaited them.
Because four-legged friends and birds guided and protected our first-born parents when they were small and weak, the wolves respect the rights of other creatures and only kill when they are hungry. When the wolf returns from the hunt fed up, the deer cow can suckle its young without fear.
This is what Waka, the law, wants it, and this is how the firstborn taught us, the first-born, father and mother of all wolves. "

Blue was silent.
The other wolves were also silent. The night sky arched above them, studded with stars that Waka, the law, had commanded to shine at night.The endless forests, the hills, the mountain and the paradise and the vast sky without borders seemed to flow into each other and to become one and embedded in it they were, the little crowd. Whatever happened and whatever danger awaited them - they knew they were safe in Waka, the law.
"Sleep now," said Ashi.
Young wolves and pups lay down, stretched out, and huddled together. As always, Cloe found her own place to sleep.
Ashi went to Zari Kan to keep watch with him.
The stars went out. When day dawned, Ooki and Ken returned to paradise.
