There
was
no
water
in
the
village.
The
lakes
and
rivers
were
dry.
Raven
and
Crow,
two
young
girls
who
were
having
their
first
menstrual
courses,
were
told
to
go
and
draw
water
from
the
ocean.
Finding
the
journey
too
long,
Raven
decided
just
to
urinate
into
her
basket-bucket.
She
decieved
no
one
and
was
severly
scolded.
Crow
returned
much
later
but
with
drinking
water.
As a
punishment,
Raven
was
condemned
never
to
find
water
in
the
summer;
only
in
winter
would
she
find
something
to
drink.
For
that
reason
the
Raven
never
drinks
during
the
hot
months;
she
speaks
with
a
raucous
voice
because
of
her
dry
throat
...
The
text
on
the
egg-formed C
tablet
had
its
beginning
at
Raven
and
the
text
on
the
rectangular
G
tablet was
probably
meant
to
begin
with
the
other
girl,
with
Crow.
This
pair
of
girls
were
complementary
and
so
could
perhaps
also
be
the
C
and
G
texts.
For
instance:
