Once upon a time, on an island far across the Big Sea, there lived Storm-Mane. At the beginning of the story her name was not yet Storm-Mane, for she had worn no storms in her hair. In the beginning, Storm-Mane was laying down on her island. She had been enjoying another fine, peaceful day when a seed drifted onto her island. Storm-Mane, ever curious, planted the seed into the ground. It grew quickly into a beautiful flower, which she treasured.

Twijfel, lord of the skies, who watched her from above, became envious of Storm-Mane’s flower. At first he asked Storm-Mane for the flower, but she refused. Then he tried to reach down and pluck the flower out of the ground, but Storm-Mane swatted his hand away. He became disgruntled, and threw a fit, and tore out his hair which fell onto the sky and became dark storm clouds, blocking out sunlight. Under cover of darkness, Twijfel swooped down again and plucked the flower out of the ground, which made Storm-Mane angry.

She said to Twijfel, "My name is Storm-Mane, and you have stolen from me. Give me back my flower, and go back to your place in the skies."

But Twijfel would not listen. "No," he said, "Your name is not yet Storm-Mane, and you have no proof that I, Twijfel, had taken anything from you."

Twijfel was lying, but in the darkness it was impossible for Storm-Mane to see Twijfel standing in front of her with the flower in his hand.

"If what you say is true, then why is there a hole in the ground where my flower used to be? You are lying, and you have stolen my flower."

There was indeed a hole in the ground, which Storm-Mane could feel even without the sun, so Twijfel was caught red-handed. But he was crafty, and had another trick up his sleeves.

"But Not-Yet-Storm-Mane, you must be mistaken, don’t you see that your flower is still where you first planted it?"

Storm-Mane looked closely, but in the darkness she could only see a vague outline of a plant. It was not the flower, but a banana sapling Twijfel had planted in its place while Storm-mane wasn’t looking. Storm-Mane did not know what to make of this, so she decided to water the sapling anyways. As she did, the plant grew and grew and grew into a full banana tree, and pierced the dark clouds above. 

Storm-Mane climbed up despite Twijfel's protests, and as she poked her head through the clouds she could see that they were just wisps of hair scattered against the sky dome, held in place with bolts of lightning. So she took the bolts of lightning and put them into her own hair, and then blew the dark clouds away with a breath. Then Storm-Mane climbed back down the tree, and Twijfel could see that her name was now Storm-Mane, and Storm-Mane could see Twijfel standing there with her flower in his hand. Twijfel dropped the flower to the ground, and fled the island, never to be seen again.
