by Renae S.
The Creation of Man
Canra-The most powerful god (female)
Notra-God of water and land (male)
Needra-Creator of humans (male)
Ena-God of air (female)
Cerna- Knows everything (female)
In the beginning there was land, water, and air. There was nothing on the land or in the water. No one to breath in the fresh non-polluted air. It was so boring down there.
Needra wanted to make something like himself to live in huts on the land. He went to Canra to see if he could. She said, “ Ask Notra the god of water and land.”
“Ok.”
He went straight to him and asked him if he could. He said, “How would you make them?”
“I’m going to ask Cerna she knows everything.”
“Fine, you can,” he exclaimed.
“Yes,” Needra said excitily.
He went to Cerna and Cerna said, “How can I help you?”
“I would like to create something like us. I want them to live in huts on the land, drink the water, breath the non-polluted,”Needra exclaimed.
“First of all you will call these things man, or human. Second you need to get a cat and a dog. A bag of mud, and sand. Some eatable flower seeds and some delicious food that will last a long time. A seed for a fast growing and huge tree. Then put them all in a bag and go to the great hole in the sky . Don’t take a pair of wings to fly down. Wait for my directions,” said Cerna.
“Okay.”
He did that, and the next day he went back to Cerna’s cloud. He yelled to Cerna meet me at the great hole in the sky. Nobody answered, and Needra was frightened that somebody might of killed her. By the time he got to the great hole in the. Cerna was already there saying, “Where have you been. I’ve been here for fifteen minutes.”
“Of course, your Cerna you know everything. You new I was coming,” exclaimed Needra.
“First you need to throw the tree seed as hard as you can in the ground and it will grow as tall as the great hole. Then climb down it, and I will follow. As soon as we get down it will shrink to one fourth its original size!!! Bring down the cat, dog, mud, sand seeds, and food. I will tell you more when we get to the bottom,” said Cerna.
“Okay.” It took forever to get to the bottom it seemed like. It only took thirty minutes.
“Now you need to throw the sand near the water, and that is called a beach. Plant all the flowers seeds in good areas, and shape the mud into the form of a hut. Then touch the tree with them count to three after you set them down where you want it and it will become a hut. Do that until you have eleven huts. Stick the food in your hut and the dog is for protection. The cat is for company.”
“Okay.” He did all of that and back he went to Cerna who lived in the hut next to him. He asked her, “ If the eatable flower seeds were ready to pick and if he could create man?”
“ Yes, they are ready and I will show you how to create man.”
The next day Cerna already had a stick off the tree and on the beach ready to create man. Needra walked to the beach and Cerna said, “ Draw us.” He drew nine men and nine women.
Then Cerna said, “BREATH.” The second she said that all of them came to life and they matched up. They went to their huts and went to sleep.
The next day by the time Needra and Cerna woke up all the humans were working and breathing the air. They had all the eatable flowers gathered and sorted them by type. They were really smart.
Ena was mad because they didn’t ask her if they could breath the air.
She made a great windstorm and everything on the land got swepted away. Only a few humans survived and of course Cerna and Needra both survived. Five men and five women survived total, and thats not counting Cerna and Needra.
Then Cerna tapped the tree three times on the trunk and it grew to its original size. They climbed up it and went to Canra to see if she could fix it. She could and she did. They said thanks, and went back to the tree and when they reached the bottom it shrunk to one fourth its size.
They looked around and everything was normal again. They talked to Ena and they made a compromise. then they went back to their land and made more people to live on the land. They named the land Miracle because it was a miracle they got to stay there.
