LegendOn the 6th day of the Creation, the Creator was very satisfied of His work and was getting ready for a well deserve rest.
He still had, however, a handful of dirt in his hand. He then decided to throw it in the blue waters that He just created. A string of small islets was formed in this very clear water. He had just created the TUAMOTU Archipelago! He was very satisfied of this last creation, which completed His Work and He said to Himself: "When I retire, I’ll go rest there! It looks like a small Paradise!” |
