The Creation of Summer & Winter
Once upon a time, there lived two twin boys. One the boy's name was Shako, and the other boy's name was Minoka. Shako was the spirit of winter, and Minoka was the spirit of summer. Shako wanted the whole year to be cold and snowy as Minoka wanted the whole year to be hot and sunny. This is the reason Shako and Minoka always argued. So then the twins decided to split and move. Shako moved to the north and Minoka moved to the south. Therefore north became cold and south became warm long ago.
Many years has passed and Shako decided to travel further south he from where lived. So then Shako decided to and rest on a huge rock. Once he had waken up he sighted a beautiful woman. She was collecting cedar leaves, because over there it was very cold, and no crops grew there. When Shako saw the beautiful woman he fell in love with her, and then he went to talk 0to her. “What is your name,” Shako asked the beautiful girl. She replied politely, “My name is Kachinioy.” Also when Kachinioy saw Shako she also fell in love with him, not knowing who Shako was. Just then Kachinioy asked Shako, “What is your name?” Shako replied, “My name is Shako.” Kachinioy father Ronorak the chief of the village saw the Kachinioy and Shako loved each other, and then he decided that they will get married. Once Shako and Kachinioy married, Shako came to lived in the village with Kachinioy and his father Ranorak in a wigwam.
Many years had passed while Shako and Kachinioy married. One day Shako decided that he would go to visit his old house and meditate there for a few days. Before
he went Shako ran to his wife Kachinioy and told her the truth for who he was.
“Kachinioy, I want to tell you that I' m the spirit of winter,” said Shako. Kachinioy said
back, “I found out the day I meet you that you were the spirit of winter, but I still loved you because you had a pure heart.”
So then Shako left the village, and within four days Shako reached his old house
and then he checked everything, if everything was fine then he started to climb up a mountain to meditate at the top of it. Just after Shako left Minoka, Shako's twin brother decided to travel a little north from where he lived. Minoka also decided to carry a little bit of corn for the way. After four days of walking Minoka spotted Kachinioy, Shako's wife and then he went up to her and asked her, “What is your name ?” Kachinioy replied,“My name is Kachinioy.” Then Minoka insisted,“Take the corn.” “ Where did you get it from,” asked Kachinioy, “is it near from here or I' ll get and take some myself.” Minoka replied, “No, I live in the south over there it is very hot and from there I brought the corn. Kochinioy listen, come here every eighth day and I' ll be here
in the meadow with some corn.” Suddenly, Kachinioy asked Minoka “What is your name.” Minoka announced back, “I almost forgot to tell you my name, it is Minoka the spirit of summer.”
When Minoka saw Kachinioy, he fell love with her knowing that she was the wife of Shako. Kachinioy also fell in love with Minoka when she first saw him forgetting that she already married Shako. By the eighth day Minoka was waiting for Kachinioy to take the corn. When she came to take the corn, she invited Minoka to have dinner and stay over the night, and Minoka agreed.
When Minoka, Kachinioy and Ranorak were having dinner they heard a voice yelling, “Minoka, I know that you are here. So now come out in the meadow and face me, face to face,” announced Shako. Suddenly Kachinioy realized that Minoka looked exactly like Shako, but Minoka was brown and Shako was white. So then Minoka explained to Kachinioy the relation between him and Shako.
Then Minoka did as Shako told him to. When Minoka reached the meadow Shako yelled, “ I see that we both love my wife and my wife loves us two. So now let us have a challenge brother. “ What is it,” Minoka asked. “ So now listen ,” said Shako, “ Who ever will win the war between us will get to marry Kachinioy, and the weather will be there choice.” “ I agree and we will meet meet here on the twelfth day for the war,” said Minoka. So then it took four days for Shako to go to the north and it also took four days for Minoka to go to the south.
When Shako got to the north he created a army of animals to help him in the war. That took Shako four days to do. When Minoka got to the south he also created a army of animals to help him in the war. That also took Minoka four days to do. Then Shako and Minoka started to go to the meadow where the war was going to begin then finally it took four days to go to the meadow and the twelfth day started. Now, finally the war started.
Minoka and his army of animals stood at the left of the meadow. His animals' fur burnt up and became black or brown. That is why summer animals' fur is black or brown. Shako and his animals' stood at the right end of the meadow. His animals' fur became all snowy then it turned white or grey. That is why winter animals' fur are white or grey.
Shako and Minoka started the war by sending the animals into fight, but that didn't last very long because Shako made Minoka's animals so cold that they ran away. Minoka also made Shako's animals so warm that they also ran away. Next Minoka made it so sunny and rainy that Shako's snow and ice started to melt. Shako did not know what to do so he decided to give up.
So then Minoka decided to marry Kachinioy, and Kachinioy's father Ranorak agreed that Minoka and Kachinioy will get married. Minoka also decided that half of the year will be warm and he called it summer, and the second half of the year will be cold and he called it winter. This is also how summer and winter was created, and now everybody lived in peace.
