Creation Story of Kmtyws in Cuba: On the Nature of Things-gctid51989

[Ɔbenfo Ọbádélé]

"Olofi created the earth and all the things in it. Olofi created  beautiful things and ugly things. Olofi created Truth and Olofi created  Falsehood. Olofi made Truth big and powerful, but Olofi made Falsehood  skinny and weak. And Olofi made them enemies. Olofi gave Falsehood a  cutlass, unbeknownst to Truth. One day, the two met and started  fighting. Truth, being so big and powerful felt confident, and also very  complacent since he didn't know that Falsehood had a cutlass. So  Falsehood cunningly cut off Truth's head. This jolted and enraged Truth  and he started scrambling around for his head. He stumbled on Falsehood  and, knocking him down, Truth felt the head of Falsehood which he took  to be his own. His strength being truly awesome, a mere pull from Truth  yanked off the head of Falsehood and this Truth placed on his own neck.  And from that day what we have had is this grotesque and confusing  mismatch: the body of Truth; the head of Falsehood."
