Tramamodifies wikitesto Sagittarius and Sogbo are the two brothers who rule the world. When the creative mother asked him to go to the land, Sogbo refused because he did not want to leave her, while Sagbata once fell down was unable to come back. Blessed was proclaimed king, but during his reign was a terrible drought caused by Sogbo. One day, two preachers who used the language spoken in heaven and said the truth came down from heaven. Sagbata wanted to know them to ask them the reason for drought. The two preachers by divination explained the true causes of the calamity and added that to solve the situation, Sagbata would have to surrender some of its wealth and entrust it to a friend of Sogbo, the bird Wututu. So it was and in fact Sogbo became the master of the universe and the rain began to fall on the ground. Notemodify wikitesto Bibliografiamodifica wikitesto Voices correlateemodify wikitesto
