Note 19 — Wild Tribes of Mindanao
Reading edition
In the beginning there were four beings,19 and they lived on an island no larger than a hat. On this island there were no trees or grass or any other living thing besides these four people and one bird.20 One day they sent this bird out across the waters to see what he could find, and when he returned he brought some earth, a piece of rattan, and some fruit.
