How Did Amy Come From Heaven
Before there was any life on earth, God made a man and named him Sam. He sent Sam to live on the bottom of the sea, but Sam wanted to live on the land. Not listening to God's warnings of how hard life would be, Sam went to live on land. Eventually the lifelessness of the land made Sam unhappy that he wept. God took pity on Sam and sent him a wife named Amy to keep him company for two years. When Amy came from heaven to live with Sam , she brought fire with her, for it had not existed on earth before. She built a fire in the middle of Sam's hut and slept on the side opposite him. In the night, however, he crossed over and bit her . By the next morning, she was swollen, and she gave birth to the grasses and trees and other plants, and soon the world was green with life.

He soon fell ill, and the rainfall that his people had enjoyed stopped. As the rivers dried up and food began, his people concluded that it was his fault. Eventually they rose up and strangled him, and they set another man in his place as
