The Sun Lady and the Hypothetical Bear by Jam Westwood

The Sun Lady chose a hypothetical bear and all of the men cried. They argued that not all of them would have raped her but the bear might eat her. They called her stupid but still she did not change her mind. The men grew angrier and angrier and wanted to kill the hypothetical bear, so the sun lady put the men up in the sky where they could do no harm. Their anger and tears did create great rainstorms over the Earth and soon great seas and lakes and rivers had formed. The sun lady made life spring from these waters. Every rumble of thunder is a sign that the sky men have seen a new bear born into the wooded lands of The Sun.
