A Brave Pygmean Boy Who Stole Fire

Long long time ago, people could not use fire. Only God owned and used it.
One day the chief of Pygmy with hunting animals just saw the fire. He wanted to get the fire. But he failed to stole the fire from God. Since that time, many pygmeans tried to stole the fire again and again but also failed. Meanwhile, a brave and wise pygmean boy planed to steal the fire and eventually stole it. Though God regretted granting the fire to him, it turned out to be of no use. In the end the people who stole the fire was punished by God.

Long long time ago, people could not use fire.
Only God owned and used it.
This is the story how people could use fire in Africa.

God, the owner of fire, lived with his old mother.
His mother had to take care of fire and not to go out every day and night.

One day, God had to go to a meeting of Gods in Africa.
He worried about his old mother left alone.
"Don't worry, my son.", said his mother.
"Take care, mom, It won't take long.", said God.
God tapped at his heel with liana cane.
He flew up into the air in a blink and stood on a cloud.
Then he disappeared over the river.

His mother dozed off in front of fire after a while.

Then the chief of Pygmy with hunting animals
just happened to be there and saw the fire flame.
He wanted to get the fire flame.
And he said, "Oh! It's warm. It must be useful to my people. I'll take it."
He took it and ran away in a hurry.
"Oh, no! The fire has been stolen", God's mother yelled.
She shivered with cold.
God heard his mother's yells of pain.
He came back and chased after the chief.
"How dare you steal my fire!", he hurled words of thunder.
"I made a mistake. Forgive me, please.", the chief said with a weep.
"I'll forgive you this time.
Never come near my house again!", he yelled at the chief.
