Douglas W Carter           Birth of a Hymywho-Love word count-596

Hymywho, Hymywho, many may not know who a Hymywho is. Many in fact may have only heard tales of a Hymywho, but the real story of the Hymywho's starts a very long time ago. Before the days of Kings and Queens, before the age of balloon and flight. Nearly as old as the Dinosaurs themselves, existed the very first Hymywho's. In those days as the cavemen and women roamed the earth, emotions were really never used to express how people felt. You would hear a grunt or groan from time to time, but nothing that said exactly how they felt. Caveman would walk the earth searching for food and also searching for a cave women. They didn't know just why they were looking for a cave women, but something just told them it was as important as looking for food. Normally caveman and cave women would pass and grunt at one another, then get back to searching for food. One day would change everything for the primitive folks back then, it would create the very first Hymywho's ever seen. The story went a little something like this...early one morning as the cave people woke and began searching for breakfast, a loud cry was heard that according to legend was heard all the way around the world.

This cry was the loudest sound anyone had ever heard, since the great volcano erupted. Well the sound had come from one of the cave women, and it looked like she was hurt. Caveman and women didn't know what to make of the sound, they just looked at one another and shrugged their shoulders. So the cave women who got hurt sat in her cave crying, no one helped her because none of the cave folk understood what had happened. Then one caveman who lived by a fallen palm tree heard the sound, and came to investigate. The cave women was sitting holding her knee, a loose rock must have fallen and bounced off her knee. Unlike the other cave people, this caveman knew what to do. You see back then people weren't that smart, so when they got hurt they just sat and cried until they didn't hurt anymore. This caveman on the other hand was much smarter than all the rest, he knew exactly what to do. He pulled a healing leaf off a tree and kissed the cave womens boo-boo and laid the healing leaf on her knee. After a moment or two the cave women stopped crying and began to smile, and the helpful caveman began to smile to. The two cave people at that moment felt something neither one of them could understand or explain. You and I know what that feeling was....thats right it was LOVE. At that very moment in time a wondrous thing happened, a being that did not exist until that second popped into existence. The being was the very first Hymywho to be born, she was the Hymywho of love. Born into this young world out of love, she would go on to be the mother of all Hymywho's. Long, long ago a kind act was performed that created a new being, thanks to that kind act we know love. From that moment on many other Hymywho's would be born, Red Hymywho's that are scary feelings, and Green Hymywho's that are happy and glad feelings. Hymywho's of all colors and emotions would soon come into existence, but that's another story.

THE END
