The Sky Maiden’s father was the Sun Chief.
Kimana wrote a letter and wanted someone to deliver it to her.
He first asked Rabbit, but Rabbit refused to take the letter.
He then asked Antelope, but Antelope said it could not go to heaven.
Kimana asked Hawk, but Hawk said it could travel only half the distance.
Finally, Kimana approached Frog, who agreed to take the letter.
The Frog carried the letter in its mouth and went away.
The Frog lived inside a well where the servants of the Sun Chief came to fetch water.
When the servant girls lowered a bucket into the well to draw water, the Frog jumped inside it.
The Frog reached heaven and left the letter on a table near a glass of water.
The Sun Chief asked his daughter about the letter.
The Sky Maiden said that if Kimana could bring a wedding gift, she would consider his proposal.
The Frog returned and delivered this message to Kimana.
Kimana gave the Frog a bag of money to take to the Sky Maiden.
This time, the Sky Maiden wanted Kimana to come to heaven and take her.
The Frog conveyed this message to Kimana.
Kimana requested the Frog to bring the Sky Maiden down to earth instead.
When the Frog went to heaven again, everyone became sick after drinking the water.
The Spirit doctor said that the Sky Maiden should go to earth.
The Frog brought the Sky Maiden to earth.
The Sky Maiden fell in love with the Frog and took it back to heaven.
They lived happily ever after.
Kimana is still waiting for his bride.
