Read this excerpt from "How the World Was Made."

[Buzzard] flew all over the earth, low down near the ground, and it was still soft. When he reached the Cherokee country, he was very tired; his wings began to flap and strike the ground. Wherever they struck the earth there was a valley; whenever the wings turned upwards again, there was a mountain.

How does this incident provoke a decision in the story?

The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.

Water Beetle decides to bring some mud from under the water to fill in some of the valleys Buzzard created.

The Cherokee decide to settle in the mountainous land Buzzard has created.

The other animals decide to put the sun in the sky so they can better admire what Buzzard has done.

Answer: The other animals decide to call Buzzard back to Galun'lati, lest the entire world become mountainous.

Step-by-step explanation:

The animals used to stay in Galun'tai which was in the sky. They wanted to move to the earth which the water beetle had brought up from the ocean's bottom. The land was too wet for them though so they went back to the sky.

After some time they then sent the Great Buzzard who flew all over the earth to find land to settle. As his wings created mountains and valleys as stated in the excerpt, the animals became scared that the whole word would become mountainous so they called him back.
