The Beginning of the Human Race

Many years ago, when the world was created, all kinds of animals where together eating and leaving at peace, everything was perfect and pretty and in place. Suddenly in a dark and cold night every animal at earth looked up and saw a marvelously brilliant shooting star, it seemed it was never going to land but by a magical force it changed direction and landed just in the center of the planet. Every group of animals (birds, elephants, lions, frogs, fishes, monkeys, rabbits and so) arrived curiously to see what the brilliant thing was. ¡It was a baby god! The Frog said it was the ugliest thing they have ever seen. The birds said that he was so weak he could not fly. The fish said it was impossible for him to swim or survive at water. The lions said it was so weak to be a god. Finally the monkeys said, you are just looking at physical things, we can look into his eyes and see the purest soul and the strength of you all together. The lion said that if nobody wanted it he would have it as lunch. Rapidly the monkey run as fast as he had ever ran for the baby and grabbed him and took him up into a tree. The lion tried to reach them, but the tree was the biggest in the whole world, this tree was at the center of the earth and was made by the gods in the early creation days. The monkeys fed the baby and educated him, they tried to teach him everything they knew, but faced some challenges. When he was a kid they tried to teach him how to climb, but his monkey friends always won the race. His best friend was a monkey girl that was weak and did not liked to climb as a race, even though she was the most intelligent monkey of all times, she could count how many bananas where in the whole forest in a day. As teenagers they also became best friends and later in love. One night they were both sitting at branch of a tree, the birds where singing, the full moon was glowing as no one has ever seen before, and then a miracle happen, a baby half god was conceived. Nine months later a half god was born, he looked half like a monkey and half like a god. Then a half goddess was also born and they tried to keep it secret, but one day the son of the god founded out and was very angry about it. He then separated all the species in the world and made the half god and half monkey girl rule the earth with their intelligence.
