MY CREATION MYTH
The Creation of Man
by Melissa L.
In the beginning only the sky above, the sea below and one lonely man lived. That man’s name was Larry.
After awhile Larry started getting lonely so he decided to make people. But first he must make food, light, and shelter for them.
The way he made light was he made a big fire and threw it into the sky. That is what he called day. Then he threw hot embers into the sky for night.
For shelter he put sticks and logs up for houses. Larry put palm leaves on top for a roof.
As for food Larry just planted seeds and let them grow.
When Larry started to make people he first made them out of rock but they were way too clumsy so he destroyed them. He use the rocks as mountains. He tried to make them out of wood but they were way too loud so he destroyed them he used the wood as trees. Larry was getting very discouraged so he tried clay. Larry was very happy when they weren't clumsy or loud.
So man was created out of clay, Larry was happy and all was well until Larry became ill. The people gathered around him. He knew that he was going to die soon so Larry wrote out some rules and picked three people to enforce them. He also chose one person to be the new ruler. That night Larry died.
After the new ruler, Bob was in control things were a lot harder. Then one night Larry came back as a ghost and haunted Bob, after that Bob was a lot nicer.
That just goes to show you to be a lot nicer to everyone. That is how man was created.
