an ape, a bird, and a baby

Today in class, we learnt about Creation Myths and for the project, my students had to write their own version of their Creation Myth.

Here is one which I found particularly interesting, and I want to share it with you all:

One day many many years ago, one ape walked around. He walked and walked and he saw one bird surrounded by 50 other birds. The 50 birds were being bad to that one bird. So the ape was very angry. Then he rescued the bird, and the bird say to him “You are very kind, you will be very lucky.”

The ape goes home and thinks “What a crazy bird! If what she says is true, I will marry her. HAHAHAHAHA!”
He goes to sleep and he dreams. He hears somebody calling his name. “Hey ape! Hey ape!” The ape shouts “Go away!” And the voice says, “I am god!” The ape screams, “Oh my God!!” And the voice says, I am the bird and I am GOD. You say you will marry me, so do that.”

So the ape married the bird and they are very happy. Then one day, a loud crash and an egg falls into their house. The egg cracks and a baby comes out. “Hello, I am the first human!”

The end.
