OH MAN

This is the best.

"Also from the melt sprang Auðumla, the great cow, who licked at the ice for nourishment. As she licked at the ice, Ymir suckled from her and grew. As Auðumla licked at the ice, her licks uncovered Buri, the first of the Aesir."

So Norse mythology has a cow that licked an ice block into the shape of a person, who then lived.

(can you guess where this is going?)

my name is cow
and long ago
when I cam
from melted sno

i hav a thirst
so in a trice
i mak a man
i lik the ice

(BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE)

Ek heiti kýr My name is Cow
ok þá er svǫng and when I’m hungry
ek neyti tungu I use my tongue
eins ok eldfǫng like fire-tongs

heimur er nýr The world is new
og mér er kalt And I am cold
ek heiti kýr - My name is Cow

ek sleiki salt I lick a salt

Someone did "i lik the bred" in Old Norse. This is the best thing ever.
