Some of the Lolo tribes have the story of the Creation, but not all of them, whereas the story of the Deluge is universal, though not always the same. In some cases Noah has three sons, and in some no animals are mentioned. The Black Miao story is told thus by S. R. Clarke, to whom it was dictated:

“Who made Heaven and Earth?

Who made insects?

Who made men?

Made male and made female?

I who speak don’t know.

Vang-vai (Heavenly King) made Heaven and Earth,

Ziene made insects.

Ziene made men and demons,

Made male and made female.
