THE WORLD OF HEAVEN. Origins of humanity according to Indonesia

Hello my friends from steemit. Today and as usual I bring you some mythology. Today we will talk about the origins of humanity, and those who have that merit are the Indonesians.

THE WORLD OF HEAVEN

THERE WERE ONCE THREE BROTHERS and two sisters who lived above, in the world of heaven. One day, Parpara, the youngest brother, went fishing and lost the bait he had borrowed from his brother hian, the eldest. Hian became infuriated with his little brother. "I need that hook," he shouted. Go back to look for it

So he stopped and dived into the water to get the hook. After a while he found a fish, which asked him what he was looking for. I told him, and the fish promised to help him. In the end they found another fish, which was suffocating with death rattles. A pointed object protruded from his throat: the hook gone

parapara returned the hook to hian but this did not mean the end of the problem. Parpara was very upset because of the authoritarian tone in which his brother had spoken to him and decided to reciprocate with the same currency.

Parapara placed a jug full of palm wine on top of Hian's bed right there where his brother collided with her when he got up. In effect, Hian fell into the trap: when he got up from the bed his head hit the jar, which fell to the ground. floor, spilling content everywhere. "Look what you've done," he shouted. You have spilled my palm fate. I want you to give it back to me.

Hian

He started digging and digging, he tried to prevent the wine from dripping into the ground. But he dug with such fury that he made a hole that reached the world below. When he saw the hole, the brothers forgot about the dispute.

 

"I wonder what's down there," said Pampara. "Let's see," Hian exclaimed. They tied a dog to a rope and lowered it. When hoisting it again, the dog had an immaculately white sand adhered to its legs. Intrigued, the brothers decided to find out for themselves what the world below was like. The three brothers and one of the sisters went down. , carrying a dog each. finally it was the turn of the second sister, the youngest. At the beginning of the descent and seeing her brothers watching her, she became so nervous that she shook the rope, which attracted the attention of the people who lived in the world of heaven. As soon as they saw what was happening, they hoisted her back to the world of the neck, and with it also the rope. in that way, pampara, hian and his other brother and sister, together with their four dogs were caught in the world below in which we now live, and became our ancestors

As a curious fact, the story of the origins comes from the Kai Islands, in the south of Indonesia. It is not strange that the brothers' dog brings white sand in its legs since these islands are famous for the white sand of their beaches.
