Explanation:
In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,
<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>
The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.
By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.
By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

Answer: The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.
Explanation:
The animals used to stay in Galun'tai which was in the sky. They wanted to move to the earth which the water beetle had brought up from the ocean's bottom. The land was too wet for them though so they went back to the sky.
After some time they then sent the Great Buzzard who flew all over the earth to find land to settle. As his wings created mountains and valleys as stated in the excerpt, the animals became scared that the whole word would become mountainous so they called him back.
