` Payah kun , ' said the Eldest Magician ; and he breathed upon the fallen trees and the still water , and they became the Everglades in Florida , and you may look them out on the map . Then he went South and found All-the-Turtle-there-was scratching with his flippers in the sand that had been got ready for him , and the sand and the rocks whirled through the air and fell far off into the sea . ` Kun ? ' said All-the-Turtle-there-was . ` Payah kun , ' said the Eldest Magician ; and he breathed upon the sand and the rocks , where they had fallen in the sea , and they became the most beautiful islands of Borneo , Celebes , Sumatra , Java , and the rest of the Malay Archipelago , and you can look them out on the map ! By and by the Eldest Magician met the Man on the banks of the Perak river , and said , ` Ho ! Son of Adam , are all the Animals obedient to you ? ' ` Yes , ' said the Man . ` Is all the Earth obedient to you ? ' ` Yes , ' said the Man . ` Is all the Sea obedient to you ? ' ` No , ' said the Man . ` Once a day and once a night the Sea runs up the Perak river and drives the sweet-water back into the forest , so that my house is made wet ; once a day and once a night it runs down the river and draws all the water after it , so that there is nothing left but mud , and my canoe is upset . Is that the play you told it to play ? ' ` No , ' said the Eldest Magician . ` That is a new and a bad play . ' ` Look ! ' said the Man , and as he spoke the great Sea came up the mouth of the Perak river , driving the river backwards till it overflowed all the dark forests for miles and miles , and flooded the Man 's house . ` This is wrong . Launch your canoe and we will find out who is playing with the Sea , ' said the Eldest Magician .
They stepped into the canoe ; the little girl-daughter came with them ; and the XXXXX took his kris -- a curving , wavy dagger with a blade like a flame , -- and they pushed out on the Perak river .
