The Girl and the Turkeys:
Using a couple of main ideas from this story I would have a tribe that was very rich and enjoyed all the luxuries that nature and life had to offer them, but unlike others, as long as they had more money and fortune than everyone else then one of their sons and daughters had to marry animals. Of course, there was no reproducing with an animal and a human, it was just a pure marriage and the human would take care of the animal as a pet. But they could be married to another human. It was a sign of good luck, but the rich tribe didn't feel like this was something the rich would be forced to do by the sky, clouds and sun above them that ruled over them. Well one day, one of the daughters was set to marry a cow, but was not happy about it. She didn't understand why she must marry a cow. So she talked to the clouds. The clouds answered back to her in a way no one else could have understood. The next day, when she was set to marry the cow, as the entire tribe was gathered, instead of getting married she removed herself from the tribe and told them she didn't want to be rich anymore. That she would rather be poor and more unfortunate than marry a cow. She realized that having money wasn't what life was about and wasn't worth sacrificing a good, meaningful life with other people. Having to marry an animals was absurd.
