The flood and the theft of fire is an old myth that talks about how a great rain came and stole everything from them. Only one man and one woman survived the great disaster but there was nothing left for them. The only thing these two ate was the fish from the waters around them. When the children of these two adults died, they became the spirits of animals and insects around them.
All animals came back to earth again. The Spider Indians and Snake Indians stole fire from the Moon Indians. As soon as the thief stole the fire from the moon, he ran all over earth and touched everything he could to set light to earth. It became to be what it was before the flood had set them back.
