CREATION MYTH
by Olga B.
In the beginning there was only sky and Earth,and the gods above,The gods were
Arron, god of Heaven,
Shoe String, god of plants,
Buckwheat god of sea,
Porky god of animal,
Stinger god of fight
Hotson god of human.
Arron told Hotson to make life on Earth, because it was so plain.
So Hotson went to Shoe Sting and asked for some grapes. She gave him her last bunch and said, “you could have my last bunch but you have to die.” “Oh I will and if I don’t , I will die with you.” Hotson did not know what will happen if he does not give Shoe String the rest of the grapes .
So he went down to Earth and took some grapes, and made little clay people and every little person got a grape for brain.
Then he asked the gods for wind. The wind started blowing and blowing, little by little they came to life. Hotson told the people, “ you must respect us gods for we have created you .”
Then Hotson left the humans on Earth to live and make houses. While they made houses he went up to the gods and said, “I have created life on Earth.”
Everyone cheered and Shoe String got jealous and told stinger, “I want to battle Hotson.”
So Stinger took Hotson and Shoe String and told them to fight. Shoe Sting slapped her vines at Hotson, and out of his pocket fell the grapes. Down they rolled into a little hole . Shoe string wiped her vines as fast as she can, but could not make it.
Shoe Sting died and so did Hotson. With the remains of Hotson they made animals for the people on Earth so they could eat. Shoe strings vines became rivers. The seeds fell on Earth and grew.
Then a new god was made, his name was Porky. Porkies father Arron told him to take care of the people and so he did. And that is how life was made on Earth.
