This was a folktale in the Philippines which is titled "The Flood Story". This story was about the the two brothers the son of the Great Spirit. The two brothers wanted to hunt, since there were no moutains that was formed they had to caused the water to flow all over the world. They set a trap so they can hunt for wild pigs and deers. Instead of getting wild pigs and deer they caught many people too. When Lumawig look down the earth he saw that everything was covered with water and everything drown except for two people. Both people were cold and Lumawig ask them if they are still alive they answered him. Lumawig send the dog and the deer to get some supply to make fire. Since he command them to do that they haven't came back yet. Lumawig didnt have a choice but to go to them. The deer and the dog finally made fire after Lumawig went to them. As soon as the water evaporated and there were mountains, the brother and the sister were married and had children and therefore came many people on the planet earth.
