A new game!
it's called Find all the Spelling, Grammer, and Punctuation mistakes! Here's teh document you will be playing with!
All across the world, different groups of people have different stories about where they came from and who they are. Some these stories are very similar. Some, like the Maidu Indian origin story and the Mayan Indian origin story, are very different.
The Maidu origin myth does not explain where the earth, the stars, or the sun comes from. According to it, they just exist. There is a god called Earthmaker who goes all over the earth and created creatures of different kinds. He always made the creatures in pairs, one male and one female. He created them all so they would each adapt to their environment in different ways. At first they were not really animals at all, but more like seeds that eventually grew and became animals. The humans were the first to fully develop, and there was a time period in which humans were the only animals in the world. During this time period, humans are given intelligence by Earthmaker, causing them to become the greatest species on the planet. Once all the other animals are developed, Earthmaker gives them each a voice. Earthmaker accidentally gave Coyote some intelligence to, and he tricks Earthmaker into giving him several human wives. In response to this, Earthmaker allows death in the world and banishes Coyote to the woods. Coyote’s son is the first to die. After this, Earthmaker goes to the east, never to return, and allows humans to rule the world.
In the Mayan Indian origin myth, the earth and everything on it is created in twelve days. On the first day, there is nothing but the sky and the sea, which the gods danced on. On the second day, the gods tired of dancing on the sea, so they all said “Let their be land,” and out of the sea came land. On the third day, Chaac, the god of rain, pored rain over the world, and plants sprouted. On the fourth day, the rain created lakes and rivers all across the world. On the fifth day, Kukulcan, the god of wind, created breezes. On the sixth day, Itzamna became the god of the sky, and on the seventh day he made the stars. On the earth day, the gods created birds. On the nineth day, the god Hunab-Kú created animals. On the tenth day, the god Ixchel dove from the sky into the seas and created fish to dance in the water. On the eleventh day, the gods rested and admired their work, but they saw it was not complete. On the final day, the gods created humans, who were smart enough to see and understand the beauty the gods had created. When the gods saw that the humans were happy with what the gods had made, they named it Xel-Há.
Both of these stories come from different indian groups, and are entirely different stories. The Maidu legend speaks of only one god, while the Mayans had many. The Maidu legend does not mention where the earth came from, only that it was there. In the Mayan myth, the seas and sky are in place, but the gods have to create the land because they need a place to rest when they are tired of dancing. In the Mayan legend, humans are created to appreciate the work the gods have put into the earth. They are created so something will be able to understand the beauty that is nature. In the Maidu legend, humans are just a random creation. They are lucky that they are the first creature to be created, or else something else would have gotten the gift of intelligence. The only things similar in the two myths is that nothing on the Earth came about naturaly. It was all created by something else.

You missed "It's" and "the."
Naturaly should be naturally.

Wow, I *really* don't like the writing style... Sorry, I just don't... :P
hahaha, really poorly writen because
a) I'm bad at english anyway
b) it was the wrong assignment, and i didn't figure that out till i finished. Why bother spell checking the wrong assignment?
And as for being really, really poorly writen, i know, i think it sucks myself, but i couldn't think of a better way to write it.
