My first impressions on "The Earth on Turtle's Back" is that it teaches a need to know life lesson that everybody must have in order to succeed in life and that is determination. This story is about the whole world being full of water with only water animals and above them was a place called the sky land. Humans lived on sky land and the leader had a wife that was pregnant and had a dream of the bug tree uprooting. So the leader went and uprooted the great tree. The roots had left a great big hole in the ground of the sky land. The wife wanted to see what was down there and ended up slipping and falling all the way down towards the water. The animals on the bottom see this, save her, and they need place for her to stand. Many animals have tried to get the earth at the bottom of the water but failed until the determined muskat went down under and grabbed a handful of earth and almost died in the process. The muskrat then placed the earth on the great turtle and then grew earth iteslf on the back of a turtle.
