Description

The narrator tells the story of a flood that happened a long time ago. It covered all the earth and so people looked for ways to save themselves. Some who rapped themselves in straw mats became armadillos; Others went underground and also became animals. This story is an abbreviated version of another story (#42) in this collection.
