Babariba and the Magic Box. The Origin of Fire.

The nation of Bogo had a rich history of great Kings who had ruled the country but they had some very bad laws which made progress difficult. One fateful day, two men who were stranded by the riverside were rescued and cared for by a very kind-hearted woman who was barren. After two years in Bogo, the men had to depart for their far country but not before giving a strange gift to the family that helped care for them. It turned out that this gift was going to cause a lot of suffering for the woman's family even though it was meant to benefit the whole of mankind, no thanks to the bad laws of the land. It took the intervention of a very brave woman, the Queen Onajeetay in the mold of Queen Esther of the Bible to get the King to rethink the laws of the land and spare a young man's life. The young man's name was Babariba who was the first person to introduce fire to the world.
