Long
,
long
ago
the
world
was
____________________
because
there
was
no
____________________
to
keep
it
____________________
.
One
day
,
the
Thunders
sent
Lightning
into
the
bottom
of
a
sycamore
tree
.
The
____________________
was
on
an
____________________
in
the
center
of
a
large
____________________
.
The
animals
knew
the
tree
had
fire
because
they
could
see
____________________
rising
from
the
branches
.
They
would
have
to
cross
the
____________________
to
get
the
fire
.
Every
animal
was
____________________
to
be
the
one
who
would
____________________
____________________
to
the
rest
.
____________________
was
first
on
the
list
because
he
was
large
and
strong
.
But
when
he
landed
on
the
sycamore
tree
,
the
heat
burned
his
feathers
black
.
He
went
home
without
the
fire
.
When
Screech
Owl
went
,
a
blast
of
hot
air
burned
his
eyes
.
When
Hooting
Owl
and
Horned
Owl
went
,
the
burning
ashes
made
rings
around
their
eyes
.
Then
Black
Racer
Snake
and
Climber
Snake
took
their
turns
but
came
back
without
fire
.
Now
many
animals
were
____________________
to
try
.
Only
one
animal
was
____________________
enough
to
go
.
____________________
____________________
said
she
would
go
to
the
island
.
But
Water
Spider
was
an
____________________
.
How
would
such
a
small
animal
carry
the
fire
back
?
The
other
animals
did
not
think
she
could
do
it
,
but
Water
Spider
had
a
____________________
.
Water
Spider
spun
a
thread
from
her
body
and
wove
it
into
a
bowl
.
Then
she
fastened
the
bowl
on
her
back
.
Water
Spider
ran
on
top
of
the
water
all
the
way
to
the
island
.
She
crossed
through
the
grass
to
find
the
tree
.
Then
she
put
one
little
burning
____________________
in
the
____________________
on
her
back
.
Water
Spider
ran
on
top
of
the
water
again
to
carry
fire
back
to
all
the
other
animals
.
Even
today
,
Water
Spider
still
has
a
little
bowl
on
her
