Southern Siberia - Mongolia. Chelkans (Lebedin Tatars, Otkushtö, 1863) ["At first it was just water and nowhere was land. Then God sent a white swan into the water and ordered him to bring water to heaven in its beak. But when he was diving, a little bit of earth stuck to his beak. The swan blew the ground off its beak, and it fell into the water with small specks of dust and began to swim on its surface. These specks of dust began to grow and expand, and from them became earth. But the ground was smooth and flat. Then God sent a second bird to earth to blow up the ground with its beak, and this made mountains and valleys on the earth. But the trait did not like the beautiful treeless land, and he created a mob with its swamps, where people can hardly live and are very poor. At first, God created a man who lived alone on earth. It was a man. One day, while he was sleeping, the devil touched his chest and a bone began to grow from his thigh, and as she got longer, she fell to the ground and a woman appeared out of it"]: Radlov 1989:211 (the swan diving episode mentioned in Dyrenkova 1929:123); ["Zuerst war alles Wasser und nirgends war Erde. Da schickte Gott einen weissen Schwan zum Wasser und liess sich einen Schnabel voll Wasser heraufbringen. Weil ihm aber beim Tauchen ein wenig Erde am Schnabel hängen geblieben war, so blies der Schwan die Erde von seinem Schnabel; diese fiel in kleinen Stäubchen aufs Wasser und schwamm auf dessen Oberfläche; diese Stäubchen vergrösserten sich und breiteten sich immer mehr aus, so dass sich zuletzt das Land bildete. Doch das Land war flach und glatt. Da schickte Gott einen zweiten Vogel zur Erde nieder, der mit dem Schnabel in dem Lande wühlen sollte, dadurch bildeten sich auf der Erde Berge und Thäler. Dem Teufel aber gefiel das schöne, baumlose Land nicht und er brachte den Schwarzwald mit seinen Sümpfen hervor, auf dem Leute kaum ihr Leben erhalten können und arm sind. Zuerst schuf nun Gott einen Menschen, der ganz allein auf der Erde lebte. Es war ein Mann. Als er einst schlief, berührte der Teufel seine Brust; da wuchs ihm ein Knochen aus den Rippen, der fiel zur Erde, als er länger geworden, und aus diesem entstand die Frau"]: Radloff 1893 (1): 360 .
