Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
Both myths follow a structure where a warning about a natural disaster (storm/flood) is ignored by most people, a small group (a family in the first, a boy and his sister in the second) survives due to their different actions (planting seeds, heeding the owl), and there's a lesson learned (respect for nature, the feather's secrets) after the disaster. They also have a supernatural element (Sky King, talking owl) and a cause - effect chain related to human actions and nature's response.
# Answer:
Both myths have a structure where a natural disaster is preceded by a warning that most ignore, a small group survives due to unique actions, and a lesson or supernatural aftermath follows, with supernatural elements and a focus on human - nature interactions.
