Bumba

Bumba is the creator of all animals, including man, who inhabit the Congo region.

Only the witch doctors of certain tribes have seen Bumba and they give conflicting reports of his appearance to

confuse the uninitiated. He may resemble a chieftain of one of the forest tribes, although of immensely

greater stature.

Bumba appeared magically at the beginning of the world, he vomited up nine creatures which became the

ancestors of fish, birds, reptiles and mammals. He examined the creatures and felt they lacked something, so

he vomited once more, this time creating a two-legged animal which had powers denied to all the others.

He made strict rules for the behavior of all his creatures, but one of them, the female Tsetse Bumba, refused

to obey them. Bumba banished her from the earth, sending her to the sky, and although he could destroy her

he allows her to exist because she caused the lightning which gave fire to mankind.

STORY TIME

"Bumba!" called out the shaman " I have great respect for you, but we must talk!". Suddenly a giant, slightly annoyed, man appeared before the Shaman

"Why do you call for me? I'm a busy God with important issues". The shaman rolled his eyes, the most important thing he's seen Bumba do in the past year

was yell at a fox for trying to be a vegetarian. "Listen, we need to talk about Tsetse" Bumba tensed up when he heard this "What has she done now?!" "Oh,

nothing much, just SENT LIGHTNING FROM THE SKY AND BURNED ALL OF OUR HOUSES DOWN!" "...Oh" this is when Bumba noticed his surroundings,

he was standing in the middle of a burning village. "I'll uhhhh...go talk to her" "YOU BETTER". Bumba teleported away before the witch doctor yelled at him

more. He teleported straight to Tsetse and found her jumping all around on a cloud

"Tsetse stop this at once!"

"Awwww, But I'm playing hopscotch"

"...Tsetse look down"

"LE GASP why are all the houses on fire?!"

"You were playing hopscotch"

"...oops?"

Bumba sighed out in exasperation, grabbed Tsetse, and teleported away to a different cloud out in the middle of the Atlantic "Here Tsetse, you can play

hopscotch here" He then teleported away to get back to his very important business (trying to beat a monkey at a climbing contest).

"YAY HOPSCOTCH" screamed out TseTse, as she continued to play dead fish slowly rose to the surface of the ocean.
