It is winter in the village and the sun is not shining. The snow is piling up, trapping the people inside and making them irritable. Frog comes to relieve the tension by telling the story of how the Great Spirit sent Raven to free the musicians of the sun, so that the people can have music and the world could have light. The Sun selfishly kept the musicians and their music for himself, but with Frog's help, Raven is able to free them, though their instruments are burned to ash in the process. The Great Spirit comes to the villagers and teaches them how to make new instruments, and they make beautiful music and the people are happy and the world is bright again.
