In the deepest dark a white raven flew down softly in silence.After a while a large fireball was rising up in the far dark.The raven flew into the burning fireball without hesitation. Sucking into it, he became a firebird, and burnt himself. Then he heard a voice saying, “Give your burning spirits to all of them. Infuse life into them!”He kept on flying very fast, standing the heat. He infused his burning spirits into the sea, the ground, and the rivers. His burning spirits were infused into everything. And then, he became as black as coal.
