The Wahungwe creator god, who created the first man, Mwuetsi, who became the moon. Mwuetsi petitioned Maori to live on land, a wish Maori granted, though it made Mwuetsi mortal. Mwuetsi complained of loneliness, so Maori created a woman, Massassi, the morning star, warning the man not to touch her. He was tempted, touched her, and Massassi gave birth next morning to plants and trees, which soon covered the earth. Maori took her away, but seeing Mwuetsi's tears gave him another woman, Morongo, the evening star, and again Mwuetsi was unable to resist. These two made love every night, and Morongo gave birth to each kind of animal, finally giving birth to divine children, who grew into adults that same day. Maori was angered and created a storm, so Mwuetsi and Morongo hid themselves and continued to copulate, producing the world's dangerous, violent and poisonous animals. Morongo told Mwuetsi to have sex with his daughters, and from these unions came the human race
