These delightful stories about how natural things began are drawn from the early folk-lore of many races. The wonderful explanations of the phenomena of nature given by the native races appeal to the child's wonder about the same phenomena, and he and we are pleased with the imagination involved. These stories gratify our inner child's desire for a fantastic explanation of things we see every day. - Summary by Phil Chenevert (3 hr 33 min)
