First Human
After the Great Flood, world became lifeless. When Raven gazed up and down the beach, he became upset cause there was no one even to play the tricks upon. After searching for some time, Raven began to cry out loud to the empty sky. Before the echo of his cry faded away, he heard a muffled squeak. After searching, initially he found nothing, but later he noticed that the sound was coming from the half buried giant clamshell. When he peered down into the opening of the shell, he saw it was full of tiny creatures The Male Humans.
He started enjoying with them, he taught them some of the tricks too, but over the time, it became monotonous for him. He thought, that here was only males, no females, but as he knew that for every creatures there must be both men and women. There must be the females somewhere, thus he started searching the women. After a long search he spotted some giant Chitons clinging to the rocks, when he looked inside, he found the creatures similar to the creatures he found in clamshell, but are more like the Chiton, softer and rounder, in contrast to the hard shell and strong muscles of the clam, The Female Humans. He brought the men and women together. Over the time they began to produce children and the mankind began to grow.

Famous quotes containing the word human:
“The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Women are told from their infancy, and taught by the example of their mothers, that a little knowledge of human weakness, justly termed cunning, softness of temper, outward obedience, and a scrupulous attention to a puerile kind of propriety, will obtain for them the protection of man; and should they be beautiful, every thing else is needless, for, at least, twenty years of their lives.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (17591797)
