5. Read the following narrative and answer the questions that follow

“The Origin of death”

It is God who created man. And since God had pity, he said I do not wish men to die altogether.
I wish that men, having died, should rise again. And so he created men and placed them in another region. But he stated at home.

And then God saw chameleon and the weaver-bird. After he had spent three days with chameleon and weaver-bird, he recognized that the weaver-bird was a great maker of words compounded of lies and truth. So he spoke to chameleon. “Chameleon, go into the region where I have placed the men I created and tell them that when they died,even if they are altogether dead, still they shall rise again-that each man shall rise again after he dies”.

Chameleon said, “Yes, I will go there”. But he went slowly. For it is his character to walk slowly. Weaver-bird stayed behind with God. Chameleon travelled on, and when he had arrived at his destination, he said, “I was told to………………..” but he did not say what he had been told. Weaver-bird said to God, “I wish to step out for a moment” and God said to him, “Go”

But weaver-bird since he is a bird, flew swiftly and arrived at the place where chameleon was speaking to the people saying, “I was told……………..” everyone was gathered there to listen. When the weaver-bird arrived, he said what was told to us. “Truly, we were told that men, when they are dead, shall perish like the root of Aloe”.

Then the chameleon exclaimed, “But we were told, we were told, that when men are dead, they shall rise again”.
And now all people left and returned to their homes. This was the way it happened. And so men become old and die.
They do not rise again.

i) Explain why this narrative would be classified as a myth
