20. I like this inherently contextualized Native American creation story

BOY: Grandfather, how did the world come to be?

GF: Oh that's easy. Coyote was walking along the lakeshore one day and
he picked up some mud out of the lake and he packed it into a ball and he
threw it up in the air and that's how the world was made.

BOY: Oh.

Years later, BOY: "Father, if Coyote made the world, who made Coyote and
the lake and the mud?"

Father: "You know son, I've always wondered that myself."
