The Earth on Turtle's Back

I don't really understand this story, at least the moral behind it. But, if I were to write about what i think the story is about, I would say motherhood. The message that i am getting is that the wife in this story had a dream about a tree. And her husband told her that that tree needed to be removed and no one could remove it until finally it was removed. The wife saw something intriguing, which i think was the beauty of life. She realized how wonderful having a child would be. And the part when she fell in shows that the kids also care for parents by holding them up when they are to weak. The turtle in the story is the child of the woman, and the other animals are the friends. The "friends" couldn't reach earth because their love for the woman wasn't much, however, the turtle, being the child, was able to reach earth, or have a part of it with him when he came up, because the love from the child was deep. And the turtle wanted to do anything for the mother, so much that he make sure that the mother is satisfied and safe. The Muskrat would be the father because when it pawed the back of the turtle and made those imprints, to me, that means the father/muskrat is proud of the son/turtle. It shows the great deep love of a family.
