The world of Maya

I am 11 years old, in grade V and I was studying about  Jainism  and Bhudhism. How did this all start? the belief of god and the rituals they do to please it, what was the beginning. After researching i thought of a story i like to share.

Maya  was born in the early caveman years about 3.4 million years back. Her mother's name was Eefani and her father's name was Mobbin, Eefani's mother's name was Vee-ri (technically Maya's grandmother) she was very close to her granny, she called her "Aami". She was the wise one. Maya learnt a-lot things from Aami.

For an instant

The tribal leader (Ging) was sick, the tribe did it's best to make him feel better (filling his cave with hay and animal fur, dancing for him, making cooked meat for him). Soon the tribe lost hope and thought that he will die, all that they can do was sit next to him and watch him cough and sneeze but Aami came with a cure! she had a rock bowl filled with mashed leaves and some sweet berries (to make it taste sweet) she gave the bowl to Ging (the tribal leader) saying "it make feel better yuu" (it will make you feel better) without hesitation Ging ate the medicine, in few days (2-3 days) he was all better, the tribe thought that it was magic and entitled her the "magic doer"

Maya wanted to follow her great magic doer grandmother's footsteps. Whenever she learnt something new she would write it down in her rock book that her father carved for her (a book made of rocks she would write with graphite usually making her hands dirty).

One day the rain did not come for 3-4 months making their land dry and soar (drought) the animals were dying without any food or water, a famine was taking place in the tribe not knowing what to do. They all asked Aami what to do? but Aami replied "me not know" (i don't know) every one was very sad not even the "magic doer" can fix it. "Aami Aami! please, me hungry me thirst me sad please help! any magic!" (Aami Aami! i am so hungry and thirsty and sad please Aami find a cure and do some magic!) seeing her granddaughter like this she was ought to do something.

It took her a couple of tries but when she bowed down coincidentally the rain came back! every- one in the tribe was so happy, the grass began to grow eventually which meant they can take new animals and the tribe was not hungry nor thirsty anymore! Aami made a conclusion "why no rain be-be-be- cos rain god not happy" (there was no rain because the rain god was not pleased so we must make him happy) the whole tribe agreed so they bowed down whenever they needed the rain.

But Maya noticed that it didn't always worked so she aksed Aami about it, Aami also thought about it to.after a few days she declared that we make a ritual for the rain god, the whole tribe agreed and made a ritual for the rain god.They called the ritual āpah and they called themselves āpahi tribe, rain barrier💧.

And maybe this is how i think a religion is made.
