How Blindness Occurs
There was a goddess named Buubi, who was much desired by the scissor god, Zeus. Buubi was the goddess of sight, and perched upon her shoulders was the most beautiful eyeball Egypt had ever seen. Zeus decided to pursue Buubi, and soon she fell in love with him as well. When Zeus attempted to kiss Buubi, he jabbed her in the eye with his sharp blades. Blood spurted from her wound, clouding her vision. For centuries Buubi had blessed the pharaohs and people of Egypt with perfect eyesight, but now her sight was hampered- and in her work she could no longer construct all eyes perfect. This is why people are born near or far-sighted, and some can not see at all. But Buubi was very forgiving, and soon she gave birth to Zeus’s child. This was Neechee-god of the panda bear. He was born with black rings around his eyes to symbolize the darkness so many were now cursed with. Zeus was appalled by the offspring he had produced-so soft, fuzzy, and unlike himself. He chased Neechee away, across the land to what is now China. Angry in exile Neechee tried to destroy the landscape by devouring it-which is why pandas can now eat such a ridiculously large amount of bamboo. Neechee found that no matter how much he ate he could not feel better, but to this day his panda children continue to try and consume the land their forefather was so cruelly banished to.
