Make up a myth story that explains why something in our world happens the way it does.
Since the beginning of mankind, humans have always wondered why birds chirp. The weird thing about birds chirping is that they sound like they are singing. Many people wonder why that is so. However, the answer lies in "The Sound of Birds" myth. There is a story behind the reason birds use chirping to communicate.

A long time ago, before the first real humans ever existed, birds used to actually speak the animal language that all animals use to communicate. The race of birds lived peacefully among other animals speaking the same language. Birds lived as one race together but were separated by equal tribes. Each tribe had its own leader and these tribes lived in harmony together under their group of laws, which was called the pact of the birds. The pact of the birds included laws about behaving, how to act, and the most important rule, which was to never travel to the land of the Sea People. There was a bird by the name of Darius who despised these rules because he thought it was unfair to not be able to travel to the land of the Sea People. Darius was part of the group called The Elks, which was lead by the tribe leader Elkanson. So it all started when Darius broke the pact of the birds.

Darius had always been curious what is at the land of the Sea People. He decided the pact of the birds were dumb and decided to go and check out the Sea People's place.So Darius flew for many miles going away from his home until he finally reached a large area filled with mist. The wrath of the mist made Darius hesitant for a little while, but then he decided he wasn't about to chicken out and flew right into the mist. Just in time, Darius noticed the mermaid looking Sea People and stealthily flew over them without being seen. Out of the corner of his eye, Darius noticed a large room guarded by many Sea People. He decided to check it out and without making any noise, he flew right over the guards and into the room. It was a dream come true for Darius, because the room was

    The story of Utnapishnem in the Gilgamesh Epic starts with a dream that warns Utnapishnem of the coming flood. The gods are angry and want to rid the world of mankind. Utnapishnem built a boat large enough to carry his family, personal belongings, and "the seed of all other living creatures." After Utnapishnem finished, the rain fell for six days and six nights, and it was so bad that the gods climbed into heaven for safety. After the rain stopped, the boat came to rest on Mount Nisir, and Utnapishnem released a dove and a swallow. Both birds returned because they could not find land. Then a raven was released and it did not come back, proving that there was land for it to rest on. Utnapishnem then came out of the ship and offered a sacrifice to the gods. When the gods smelled the sweet odor of the sacrifice, they blessed Utnapishnem and his wife to be like the gods and live forever.…
