Jubruel wandered to and fro over the earth, so that the lakes and rivers overflowed, covering the whole land. Only a boy and girl, siblings, survived; God had carried them under his arms to a high mountain called "basse varre," the holy mountain. When the danger had passed, God let them go their way. They separated in search of other survivors. After three years, they met, recognized each other, and parted again. Three years later, they again met, recognized each other, and parted. When they met a third time after another three years, they did not recognize one another. They consorted, and present humanity is descended from them.

Nelson, 1931, pp. 180-181.
