The swans saw her a refused to let her drown because of her beauty. They saved her and went to the meeting the great turtle called for. The turtle asked the animals to go find where she fell and bring back Earth. As the animals did many died, but one old toad came back and right before she died she spat the dirt on the turtles back. Making a Island for the woman.
