Alternative facts on THE ORIGIN OF DEATH (South-African Folk-Tales, 1910) by James A. Honey

I was contaced by an well-educated user who pointed out that the story I posted on The origin of death was fake news and there are alternative facts on of the origin of death. So this is the real story on The Origin of Death:

The Moon dies, and rises to life again. The Moon said to the Hare, “Go thou to Men, and tell them, ‘Like as I die and rise to life again, so you also shall die and rise to life again.'” The Hare went to the Men, and said, “Like as I die and do not rise to life again, so you shall also die, and not rise to life again.” When he returned the Moon asked “What hast thou said?” “I have told them, ‘Like as I die and do not rise to life again, so you shall also die and not rise to life again.'” “What,” said the Moon, “hast thou said that?” And she took a stick and beat the Hare on his mouth, which was slit by the blow. The Hare fled, and is still fleeing.
