Read the passage from "The Beginnings of the Maasai."
At the very beginning of the world, Enkai was the only god: the guardian of rain, fertility, sun, and love. With that love, Enkai birthed three sons who became the Fathers of the three tribes. Enkai gave each tribe a gift to help them succeed in their new home. Upon the Father of the Kikuyu, Enkai bestowed a farm tool to cultivate the plains. To the Father of the Kamba, Enkai gifted a bow and arrow so his people could hunt wild animals in the forests and plains. To my father, Neiterkob, the Father of the Maasai, Enkai gave a stick.
Why does the myth explain that each tribe has its own gift?
to show why the tribes dislike each other
to show why the tribes admire each other
to show the Maasai's view that each tribe has a purpose
to show the Maasai's view that some tribes are inferior
Answer:
to show the Maasai's view that each tribe has a purpose
Explanation:
The myth explained that each tribe has its own gifts as given to them by Enkai the creator in order to help each of them succeed and prosper in their different habitations.
He gave them different gifts; to some, he gave bow and arrow for hunting, to others he gave a stick and this was to show the Masasai's view that each tribe has a purpose.
