A long time ago, the whole world was underwater, and only two mountains were above the water. One is called Pawandungar in Simone Pavan, and the other is Mataphen. The two mountains rose with the flood. There is a bamboo basket on the higher mountain. God saw this basket and went up to him and asked, "Who are you?"

The person inside replied, "We are Baracis, brothers and sisters." When they talk to God, they turn to greet each other. God said, "Look at each other. Who are you? " They looked at each other and said, "We are men and wives." There are two versions at the end of the story. One is that they all spit on the ground, and the other is born from saliva. The other is that they put a little sweat and mud together and formed another person from here.

A man found that the tree he cut grew back overnight. He overheard that it was grandma Nakawe. She told him that there would be a flood to destroy the world soon. She instructed him to make a box out of trees, which contained grains, beans and fire appliances, five crushed roots as fuel, and a black bitch.

The box floated in the flood for five years. After the flood, the box fell to a hill. The man went back to work as before the flood. Every day when he returns to the cave where he lives, he finds that someone has prepared tortillas for him.

He didn't know it was that bitch until he peeked. She peeled the skin and turned into a woman to grind millet for him. He threw her skin into the fire, so she cried. He bathed her in Nix Tamar, and the two of them gave birth to human beings again.

3. Atlantis epic

However, the human population is growing rapidly and likes to make noise, which makes the gods unable to sleep. The gods launched a plague, brought drought, famine and soil salinization, which could not solve the problem. Finally, they decided to launch a flood to destroy mankind. This plan was opposed by Ikey, the god of hell. He let Atlas build an ark and escaped the disaster.

The flood Atlantis sacrificed to the gods, and all the gods came to eat it. In the new world after the flood, the gods created barren women and taboo women, and at the same time sent a demon named Pacito to take the baby away from the mother's lap, which solved the problem of excessive population growth.
