The sons created beasts to roam the land, birds to fill the sky, and fish to fill the seas. But now that more and more things filled the world, the sons began to long for more space. WwW。fAiry-TALe.INfO≠
The children asked their parents to let go of each other. Papa and Rangi, still very much in love, refused. Their sons began to fear that they might suffocate in this tiny world. とㄡwwW。fAiRy-tAlE.InfOìㄌ♀ュ』αた

But Papa and Rangi still refused to part. ㄞゥWwW。fAiRy-tale.Info№くた
The children, growing impatient, felt their strength double. They placed their shoulders against their mother's belly, and with their feet they pressed against Rangi. Amazingly, Rangi's grip on Papa seemed to loosen. kぇwwW.faIrY-tAle.INFo

Rangi and Papa were proud of what their sons had done, but forever afterward they missed each other's touch. Every night Rangi cries, and in the morning the world is damp with the dew of his tears. The morning mists are Papa's sighs of sadness as she thinks of her beloved Rangi, now separated from her embrace. ㄆЫㄌㄦǔwWw.faiRy-taLe.InfoH
