Read the passage from “The Beginnings of the Maasai.”

Neiterkob was confused at first. It was one thing for an eruption to send cows flying up into the sky, but it was another problem entirely to get them down to earth again. The wise god knew how to solve the problem. Enkai grew a giant fig tree out on the plains. The tree grew rapidly, and its branches grew so high that they reached up into the heavens. One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground. My father and our people accepted the cattle and began to herd them with the sticks that Enkai had given us. Now, the rest of the tribe calls my father the “Beginner of the Earth” because he mediates between Enkai and our tribe, just as he did when the cattle returned from the sky.

What does the passage explain?

Answer:

people's culture

Explanation:

The literature explains the Maasai's cattle history.

According to the text, the Maasai got livestock when Enkai grew a gigantic fig tree. Enkai summoned the cows, who descended the tree's trunk and branches to feast on its roots. Sky-reaching limbs covered the tree.

My grandfather and the other men in our town accepted Enkai's gift of cattle and used the sticks he supplied to work them. My tribe calls my father "Beginner of the Earth" because he mediates between Enkai and us. This was his role when cattle fell from the sky.

an introduction in which you state your thesis

Need help on this question please guys!

Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,
