6. Argestues. The creation of the Pyrenees
The world was originally as flat as an ironing board, but God then decided to create the mountains. He took a sack full
of rocks and dropped a rock wherever he felt fit, thereby instantly creating a mountain. But the rocks from that sack
were so heavy and pointed that the sack finally broke and all of the remaining rocks fell on the earth between the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean. When God got back to heaven, he looked down on those mountains and felt so captivated
by their beauty that he began to cry with emotion. It is said that those rocks were what are now the mountains of
the Pyrenees (Spain) and that the tears that God wept formed the lakes that can now be found spread throughout this mountain chain. |
