In the beginning, the world was only water. God looked down at the water from the sky, and decided to create land. God called hi

s messenger Obatala, and told him to create land. Obatala was honored to be given such an important task. He called his helper Oduduwa to tell him the news. They filled a large pot with soil, and caught a chicken to take with them. They threw a rope down to the Earth. They began to climb down. When they were halfway to Earth, they stopped at a feast. Obatala ate too much and fell asleep. When Oduduwa found him asleep, he picked up the soil and the chicken and continued on the journey. Finally, Oduduwa reached the Earth. He sprinkled the soil over the water. He let the chicken go. The chicken ran in circles, making the soil spread in every direction until there was land. Oduduwa and the chicken created land from what used to be water. When Obatala finally woke up, he saw that Oduduwa had created land. He was very sad. He had missed his chance to create the world! God saw that Obatala regretted being lazy, and gave him another task. Obatala would create people for the Earth.

Answer:
