When the Sky Was MadeEverything was made. If the pig had not come, had not been chased away, neither would the flower have grown on the mountain, nor would the sword from the rock have cut assunder, nor thrust away the dragon. But the young animals played joyfully, and the flower grew because the sky was made clear. Verily, the sky was made clear.
