00:00In the beginning, all there was in the universe was the sky, the sea, and a large bird.
00:06Sky lived upstairs, sea lived downstairs, bird lived in between.
00:12Sea looked up at sky, sky looked down on sea.
00:16They were the best of friends and they were very happy.
00:20Bird was not happy because she grew tired of flying back and forth to sky and sea.
00:26She wanted a place to rest her wings.
00:28One day, bird had a naughty idea.
00:32Hmm, why not start a fight between sky and sea?
00:37Bird flew up to sky and said,
00:39Sky, do you know what your best friend said?
00:42She will raise her waves to swallow you up.
00:45Sky answered angrily,
00:47Huh, let her try.
00:50I have plenty of stones and rocks to throw at her.
00:53Bird was happy to see sky angry.
00:56She flew down swiftly to sea.
00:58Hello, sea, bird began.
01:01Sky has a message for you.
01:03He will throw pieces of stones at you just for fun.
01:05What do you say to that?
01:07Sea was surprised and hurt.
01:10So, sky wants a fight.
01:12Well, I'm ready.
01:14Sea threw her big waves up.
01:17Sky went higher and higher so sea won't reach him.
01:20When he saw that sea was not going to stop,
01:23he got mounds of earth that he kept on his floor.
01:27He rolled the soil into balls of different shapes and sizes.
01:31He threw them at sea.
01:32When sky saw that sea was heavy with soil and he was high enough,
01:37he was happy because he was finally safe.
01:40Bird was so happy.
01:42She flew up and down the air.
01:45She now has many islands to choose from to rest his tired wings.
01:49She later names the many islands.
01:51Philippines.
01:52Philippines.
01:52We'll see you next time.
