The most important scene from “The World on the Turtle’s Back” was when muskrat dived to the bottom of the ocean and brought back the soil from which the earth was to grow. In the story muskrat bravely volunteers to dive into the ocean and try to retrieve some dirt “He dived and disappeared. All the creatures waited holding their breath, but he did not return. After a long time, his little body floated up to the surface of the ocean, a tiny crumb of earth clutched in his paw.” (26). Due to muskrats bravery he succeeded in his task. If muskrat had not volunteered to try and get some dirt the world would never have been created and there would be no story.
