Answer:

Bumba creates the humans, the stars, the moon, the sun, the living creatures, Tsetse (lighting), old Kono Bumba, Nyanyi Bumba, beetle and the goat. When he vomited the sun, it causes other things like the clouds to happen, rain, and the hills coming together. Overall he creates the world. It’s like he is a god to the people who believe in this myth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bumba then vomited up the first creatures; Koy Bumba, the leopard, Pongo Bumba, a crested eagle, Ganda Bumba, a crocodile, Yo, the little fish, Kono Bumba, the tortoise, Tsetse, the lightning, Nyanyi Bumba, the white heron, one beetle and finally Budi the goat. After all of this, he was not done. He then vomited up humans, he vomited up many men and women but only one of them, Loko Yuma, was white like him. Bumba had completed his work of creating the universe. The creatures he made continued his work. They made creatures that resembled themselves. Nyani Bumba, the white heron, created all the birds. Ganda Bumba, the crocodile created the iguana and all the serpents. Yo, the fish, created all the fish. Budi, the goat created all the horned animals, and the beetle created insects. The creatures had finished their part in creating the universe.

Bumba had 3 sons and they finished Bumba’s work. The oldest son created white ants. After he was finished he died of creative strain. The ants were so happy to be alive but seeing their creator’s body they decided to honor him. They dug into the earth and found black soil and brought it up and buried him in it. The middle son created a seed plant, which spread its seeds all over and that’s where plants came from. The youngest son failed to create anything except for one bird. Then the universe was finished.
