Once upon a time, long long ago, Engai (“God”) gave life to humankind as a
mother gives life to her children.  So Engai gave life to all and he donated to
men and women the cows to get milk and goats and sheep for meat and donkeys to
carry the luggage.  And God created trees with different fruits and the grass
for the cows, goats, sheep and donkeys so that all had enough food to eat.  God
wanted to be for all times connected with people.  So he tied himself with a
rope to Leeyio, the forefather of the Maasai.  Because God was so close to all,
the cattle grew and grew and the Maasai got rich and richer.  The Wanderobe who
live near to the Maasai became jealous of the Maasai and one night one of the
Wanderobe cut the rope that connected Leeyio with Engai while Leeyio was
asleep.  Engai withdrew himself deep into the sky.  Worries, fighting, even
killing started among the Maasai since Engai (“God”), was not longer with them.
