The Story of Crake

Crake came down out of the sky, like thunder. He made our bones out of coral on the beach, and made our flesh out of the mango. We are thankful for Crake because he is our Creator. Snowman tells us that he decreed (101) us to bring Snowman one fish a week. We do this because he and Oryx got rid of the Chaos. They poured away the Chaos. And this is how they did the Great Rearrangement and made the Great Emptiness.

Crake protects us. He dreams bad dreams so we don’t have to. We are sorry he suffers on our behalf. We hope he wakes up soon, because Snowman says his suffering will stop when he wakes up.

Crake is a mystery. Nobody has ever seen him, not even Snowman. Snowman says Crake was in a burning bush, so he does not know what Crake looks like.

Sometimes Crake’s friends are also our enemies. The ground grows our food for us. Sometimes, it hurts us by mistake when we fall. Snowman says it is not the ground’s wish to hurt us (351).
