One day the three legged rabbit made himself a leg of wood. He was afraid that the sun wood set his wooden leg on fire so he decided something must be done. At night he went east to where the sun would rise. The sun was halfway up the rabbit pierced it with an arrow. The rabbit then took the black portion of the eyes and made them into the sky and the white part the clouds. He made the kidneys into the stars, the liver into the moon and the heart into the night. The rabbit, satisfied with what he'd done yelled to the sun "there you will never be to hot again." And that is how the sky was made.
