One day, something fell from the sky. Xi had never seen anything like this in his life. It looked like water, but it was harder than anything else in the world. He wondered why the gods had sent this thing down to the earth.

One day,
something fell from the sky.
Xi had never seen
anything like this in his life.
It looked like water,
but it was harder than
anything else in the world.
He wondered why the gods
had sent this thing
down to the earth.
It was the strangest
and most beautiful thing
they had ever seen,
and they wondered why the gods
had sent it to them.
Pabo got his finger
stuck in the thing,
and the children
thought he was very funny.
At first, Xi tried
the thing out to cure thongs.
It had the right shape
and just the right weight.
It was also beautifully smooth
and ideal for curing snakeskin.
And Pabo discovered
you could make music on it,
and every day, they discovered
a new use for the thing.
