The fox [the elder and younger brothers both want to rule heaven and earth; agreed to give this right to the one whose golden and silver trees will bloom first; in the morning the youngest got up earlier, saw that the elder's trees bloomed and changed trees; became a ruler; the elder predicted that during his reign people would suffer and work hard; people say we must be patient and wait for the older brother to return]: Dessaint, Ngwâma 1994:267-268; Chinese (Sichuan, Wu. Pingshan) [The sky was created by King Pangu, and the earth was created by King Biangu. Before creating heaven and earth, they agreed that whoever would finish the work first would be the big brother, and who would be the second the younger brother. Pangu was more capable than Biangu and could easily finish earlier, so he worked and slept. Biangu was a simple man and knew that Pangu did not take him seriously, so he worked non-stop and finished the land in a few days. Pangu saw that Biangu was about to finish his work, waited for him to fall asleep, and called Ganshangao (Pole that controls the mountains) to wrinkle the ground. He took the bamboo pole that ruled the mountains, waved it three times, and the flat ground wrinkled. This is how mountains, gorges and plains appeared on earth. Biangu woke up to see that the wrinkled earth was the same size as the sky and realized that King Pangu had deceived him but said nothing. At night, he invited Tezhugan (Iron and Bamboo Pole) and told him to pierce the sky. He took up arms and made lots of holes in the sky, so stars and the moon appeared in the sky, and heaven and earth have looked like this ever since]: Zhou Yang et al. 1998b, No. 1c: 23.
