The Creation of the World

In the beginning on Earth, there was nothing but darkness and water and Mbombo, the white giant, all alone. 

One day, Mbombo became incredibly sick to his stomach. He vomited and vomited in pain. He threw up the Sun and it created light and heat and the water began to dry up, creating land. Then he vomited up the moon and stars, and then nine animals; followed by many people and trees, medicine and lighting and more. These nine animals then began to create all the other animals on Earth. 


Mbombo's three sons attempted to finish the job of creation. The first died after creating white ants. The second created the first plant, from which all plants and flowers were then created. And the third son created the kite bird. 

The only trouble among Mbombo's people was created by Tsetse, lighting, so Mbombo chased him into the sky, after which Mbombo taught the people how to make fire out of trees instead. 

Mbombo was then pleased and the left the human most like him in charge. He has not been heard to have a stomach ache since.
