00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.203
At first, Xi tried
the thing out to cure thongs.
00:00:06.203 --> 00:00:09.707
It had the right shape
and just the right weight.
00:00:09.707 --> 00:00:14.279
It was also beautifully smooth
and ideal for curing snakeskin.
00:00:18.001 --> 00:00:21.786
And Pabo discovered
you could make music on it,
00:00:21.786 --> 00:00:26.824
and every day, they discovered
a new use for the thing.
00:00:28.426 --> 00:00:30.928
It was harder and heavier
and smoother
00:00:30.928 --> 00:00:33.013
than anything
they'd ever known.
00:00:33.013 --> 00:00:35.005
It was the most useful thing
the gods had ever given them,
00:00:35.005 --> 00:00:39.304
a real labor-saving device...
00:00:40.271 --> 00:00:42.307
but the gods had been careless.
00:00:42.307 --> 00:00:44.842
They had sent only one,
00:00:44.842 --> 00:00:46.577
and now for the first time
in their lives,
00:00:46.577 --> 00:00:48.379
here was a thing
which could not be shared,
00:00:48.379 --> 00:00:50.981
because there was only
one of it.
00:00:57.154 --> 00:00:59.824
Suddenly, everybody needed it
most of the time.
00:00:59.824 --> 00:01:02.927
A thing they didn't need before
became a necessity,
00:01:02.927 --> 00:01:06.002
and unfamiliar emotions
began to stir,
00:01:06.002 --> 00:01:09.001
a feeling of wanting to own,
of not wanting to share.
00:01:18.343 --> 00:01:19.744
And other new things came--
00:01:19.744 --> 00:01:25.001
anger, jealousy,
hate, and violence.
00:01:40.999 --> 00:01:42.467
Xi was angry with the gods.
00:01:42.467 --> 00:01:44.134
He shouted,
"Take back your thing!
00:01:44.134 --> 00:01:47.605
"We don't want it! Look
at the trouble it brought."
00:01:47.605 --> 00:01:49.607
But the gods
did not take it back.
00:01:49.607 --> 00:01:52.091
He shouted, "You must be crazy
to send us this thing!
00:01:52.091 --> 00:01:54.479
Take it back!"
00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:56.999
Then he shouted,
"Look out! Look out!"
00:01:58.002 --> 00:01:59.517
But he spoke too late,
00:01:59.517 --> 00:02:02.319
and the thing felled
his daughter, Dani.
00:02:19.404 --> 00:02:24.542
Xi carried the thing away
from the shelter and buried it.
00:02:36.999 --> 00:02:38.001
That evening,
there was no laughter
00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:41.125
and no chatter
around the family fire.
00:02:43.001 --> 00:02:45.999
A strange feeling of shame
had come over the family,
00:02:45.999 --> 00:02:47.001
and they were very quiet.
