In the beginning, there was no world, no land and no creatures which we see around us now and there were no men also. But there was ‘the Great Ocean’ which occupied ‘space’ as far as anyone could see. The story tells about a man who had a wife who was expecting a child but the women became hungry for all kinds of strange delicacies which generally women have when they are expecting a child and in order to find delicacies to eat, she kept her husband busy.  

Suddenly, the world grew a ‘great tree’ which was not just like other trees and it was a tremendous tree which had grown there forever and this tree was not supposed to be mutilated by any of the beings who lived in the sky and then the women decided that she wants one of the branches of the tree and when she told her husband about this, he didn’t liked this ideas saying that it was wrong but when she insisted, he agreed to her demand but when he goes there for the branch, he gets to know that he had to marry that tree first and then he gets terrified that he will be punished by his wife if she gets to know that he has married a sacred tree.
