Why some people are black and others white and brown story
When the world was young, no one lived on earth. Every day, Magbabaya, the God of life, looked down
on the earth from his home in the sky.
“Oh, how lovely the earth looks! It’s so big but yet so empty!”
He jumped down from his home in the sky. He dug up, some earth and mixed it with water. He then
made some human beings out of it. He laid them on the ground to dry in the sun.
Soon he returned to the sky, he hunted the whole day in the sky forest, afterwards, he went home with
the animals he had caught. Suddenly, he remembered the people he had left to dry in the sun. he
returned to earth as fast as he could. But they had already been burnt as black as coal by the hot sun.
He shook his head. “I must try again,” he said. “Next time, I’ll be careful not to leave them so long under
the sun.”

Again, he made some human beings out of clay. He laid them out carefully to dry under the sun. but he
was so worried this time that he did not leave them long enough. They were not baked properly. When
he looked at them, he saw that they were too pale.
He said. “Tomorrow when the sun shine, I shall make some more people. This time, I shall make sure
they are baked longer.”
Once more, he took some clay and made some human beings out of it. He laid them carefully in the sun.
when he thought that the sun was getting too hot, he covered them with leaves, and put them in the
shede.
Then he let a gentle breeze blow over them. Every now and again, he turned each of them over so that
they would have the same light brown colour all over.
When he had finished, he looked proudly at his work. They were a golden brown colour and very good
to look at. “They are perfect!” he cried happily.
Then he collected all the human beings he had made and placed them in different parts of the world.
And this is why we have black, white and brown people today.
