That morning, when he opened his eyes; a sudden pain was burning his thorax. The wind got up hardly in the trees, the mountains, the herbs and the surface of the water. He twisted in pain, body curled up on itself. Big drops of sweat slid on his chest. The Earth began to tremble when he closed his eyes: large drops of tear flooded his cheeks.

The evil that hit him had nothing in common. He had the impression that an invisible force or something was trying to mutilate his body. Everything cursory around him:

- The animals were restless and ran in all directions;

- Gray and ominous clouds covered the sky;

- Thunder gave the reply to the incessant flashes;

- His eardrums were tortured by the cries of animals and all the fuss is about;

- The feathers of birds mingled with torn tree leaves and decorated the eddies of wind;

- Further, mountains arose from the Earth's crust;

- Huge waves of water arose and threaten to engulf everything in their path.

Weak and powerless against the event, the man wondered the reason of such a phenomenon. Would nature be trying to self-destruct? Otherwise, what will happen to him?

A powerful rumble of Thunder startled. At the same time, a more powerful pain tore his body. He grabbed his chest and let out a scream of pain before finally collapsing.

When he returned to him, he opened his eyes slowly and found an unbearable silence around him: everything was again quiet. The earth trembled more, the wind has dropped back, animals have stopped to scream, the monstrous waves have disappeared from the surface of the water, the sky began to clear and the pain had disappeared from his body.

In this disturbing silence, a praying mantis with coloured wings took off and spread the colours everywhere where it passed. He witnessed then, the mutation of nature: mountains, trees, animals, the Earth, the sky... All around him was wearing new and varied colours. He got up and whispered: "nature is changing of dress!

Suddenly, a blinding light springs in front of him. The birds that were quiet for a long time came to sit all around him, as if they wanted to celebrate something.

The man didn't move, surprised by what is happening. In his turn, he saw his body wearing a new dress (colour). When he lifted his head, something was there beside him. He wanted to flee but his legs no longer obeyed him. Then he remained on the spot, the body cold of fear and waited the sequence of events.

Curiously, this thing looked like him a little: It is pretty much has the same body than him. It has a most important hair than him and on its torso hung strange balls. And it seems alive!

In a gesture of hesitation, he approached it and smiled. The thing returned his smile in turn. So the man took its hand and in a sweep of the hand, he showed it his Kingdom and told it: “be welcome”!

Then, WOMAN did her first footsteps on earth!
