This is an Mayan theory about how the world was created: the sky, sea, and darkness was already just existing, but there was no living thing nor light. the gods wanted to create something that could praise them, so after that the creation of earth was made by the gods, with light trees, rocks, grass etc., and the base to create living beings that had a will was set. after that the gods created animals, but the animals couldn’t praise the gods so they were eliminated, then the same happened to the wooden man, the gods next creation, they couldn’t praise to them neither, after that 2 gods decided it would be right to kill the god of the sun and his 2 sons, one that created mountains and one that moved them, so they killed them. END. not the best story I’ve read really, if you want a better reading try Beowulf the post is down on this blog. thanks

As in wikipedia says a Trickster i an: "The definition of a trickster according to several sources is: a mischievous supernatural being  found in the folklore of many primitive people; sometimes distinguished by prodigious biological drives and exaggerated bodily parts. a trickster leads you to believe is something that is not true, it’s a deceiver and cheater that plays tricks on others, more often than not, an animal ."
