3. The story of the creation of hippopotamus started when Mwari was making objects like Mother Earth, human beings, animals, etc. Mwari made many animals, but he couldn't think of any more animals to make.

ReplyDeleteNhamo had never been to a situation like that before, because she lived in the village with a lot of people surrounding her everyday. Now though she was completely alone in the boat, without knowing what is going to happen.
