MY CREATION MYTH
by Rodrigo L.
Long long ago there were only two creatures: one was called Tete, the ruler of the sky world, and the other was called Debo the god.
One day they were thinking, “it’s not fun being the only ones up here; let’s built some humans so we could boss them around. ” “Okay.’’ So they did.
They bossed them around every day until one of the humans said, “ I can’t take this any more; we must do some thing. ” “That’s right,’’ said another human. “Ya,” said another, but who will be the leader? But no one knew until one human said, “ you could be our leader; you started the race. “
“Okay, I’ll be your leader. ” Hooray. “Every body come over here and listen to my plan; here's what we are going to do. When they are asleep we will kill them.”
When it was dark the people got together, they got to the palace where Debo and Tete were sitting in the couch, sleeping .
But then Debo heard some foot steps and woke Tete. Tete said, “Why did you wake me up? Shssss. Why should I shssss? Because I hear foot steps! “ Who is it?’’ I don’t know. Well, let’s go see who it is.
So they did, but when the human saw the gods coming, they started to yell, “Tete and Debo!” When the gods heard the yells they said, we are here. Where? In the living room. What do you want, can it wait until tomorrow? Yes!
So the humans went to their houses. When it was morning they went to the palace. They told the gods if they could stop bossing them around. The gods said, “yes but on one conditon: that you will name one of your children Debo and Tete, okay?
So that's how the World got started.
