Tungkung Langit is the great creator. He made the sun, the stars, the moon, the planets. His wife, Alunsina, wants to be able to create too.

Alunsina was not content with this answer and continued to plead with her husband to allow her to create. And each time, Tungkung Langit ignored her pleas. Finally, Alunsina leaves her husband. Tungkung Langit searched everywhere for his wife until one day, he found her on earth surrounded by trees, flowers, birds and fish. "I am creating the world," she announces. "I too am a god."
