Earth’s Beginnings
A very long time ago, in Earth’s beginnings, the Universe God created a race of creatures to rule the Earth. These were named dinosaurs. The Universe God put two dinosaurs to lead all the dinosaur kind in order to keep peace in the world, Buba and Kiki. Buba was a big tyrannosaur who was conscious of his great and tremendous strength, and was admired by most of the dinosaurs. By the contrary, Kiki was a small triceratops, with an enormous compassion and love for all the living things in Earth, and his only power was his unmatched and incredible wisdom.
Every last day of the year, all the dinosaurs gathered in the highest mountain of the Earth, that was called God’s Thumb. In that place the dinosaurs pay tribute to the Universe God, by singing some prayers to him. One day, Buba was tired of doing the same thing every day; he believed that there was no point for obeying the great Universe God, because the dinosaurs were the real gods, so he instigated most of the dinosaur kind stop paying tribute to him. Kiki doesn’t thought that, because the dinosaur kind has to be grateful of the life that the mighty Universe God gave them, and only a few dinosaurs agreed with him.
When the Universe God saw that most of the dinosaurs weren’t paying tribute he decided to exterminate them all, but he didn’t want to hurt Kiki and his tribe. One midnight, the Universe God talked to Kiki and gave him instructions of going below God’s Thumb mountain with his tribe to save themselves of the meteorite that was going to crash on Earth the next midnight. Kiki obeyed him and went as fast as possible to the mountain with his little tribe, feeling sorry of the catastrophe that was going to happen in a few hours.
When they went below the mountain, the meteorite crashed and killed Buba and most of the dinosaur kind on Earth, leaving a scene of death and pain behind. Kiki and their tribe stayed for a year below the mountain, until the Universe God said to them to get out. The Universe God was having a sad feeling for all the creatures that die with the meteorite, so he promised to never let that happen again, and turn all the last dinosaurs into small and intelligent creatures called Men.
And for the next thousands of years, Kiki and his tribe of men repopulated Earth, and teaching all the next generations to be grateful of the life they got.
