Chapter 1; ''Bob''
That was in the green field of Mudos that the young Mudokon Bob was running behind a butterfly in the hope to catch them.
''Bob! Go to school before you be late!'' Says Joe; his oddfather.
By hearing these words he say in his minds;''Oh oh!'' and start to run. On his way he travel a bridge and arrive in the corn fields where he say hello to everyone. When he finally arrives at the great hutt build in wood and skin, that was the school.
Arrives in the classroom he said to the teacher;
''Sorry mister teacher but I...hmmmmm...I was attacked by a paramite herd!''
''Don't say anything Bob, the paramites are one of our sacred animals, they can't attack anyone.''
''But four hunters have been killed last week!''
''Bob, shut up!''
''But that's tru...''
''(Angry Mudokon sound)'' Bob was effraid. And teacher said;
''How would you become a good farmer, herder, hunter or monk if you arrive late in school?!''
''But I don't want to be anything of these, I wanna be a great hacke champion.''
''Pfffff, that's a child dream, soon or late, you'll learn to be a gentle little responsible Mudokon. But by awaiting this moment, you'll have to wash the Meep poo.''
''But... but...''
''Maybe after this you'll learn to arrive in time at school. Take this as your begining in the job as Meep herder. Now sit down, today we'll learn the story of oddworld's birth.''
Then, Bob sit down and listen the class at the end. Few hours later, Bob as to go to the Meep herder village where he met the leader of the village.
''So, you're the young one who have to wash the poo?'' The old herder said.
''Yeah...'' Bob said by checking the ground with shame.
''Okay, first take those gloves you'll have to take all with your hands and put it in those bucket, the farmers gonna need them as fertilizer. Second, take this rake to return the soil (that's for the smell)''
Bob laugh out loud but the old herder has stay cold. Then he opened the great door where all the Meeps were staying then, the villagers put them all out.
After this crappy job, it was the night. When he arrive at his oddfather's house he was tired, completly tired. Then he saw the great moon. At this moment, he begin to question himself.
''Why did the great odd have decided to make us the leaders of this world? Why did he gave to us the life if it is to be like Meeps; all looks the same.''
''I've heard you Bob'' say Joe in his back.
''But I don't know how to accomplished my destiny, I don't know how to be a different Mudokon than all the others.'' Then he started to cry. Joe was panicked so he say him ;
''Hum... maybe you can consult the almighty raisin.''
''The almighty what?''
''You don't know who is the almighty raisin? What do they learn to you in school?'' Without mentionned him that he never listen in school he listen the continuation of his story.
''The legend say that he live in a cave in the mountain of the SpooceShrub forest. The legend also said that he is the direct son of the great odd.''
''Awesome!''
''No, that's not awesome. The legend also said that there's a big paramites herd who keep the enter of his cave. All the ones who've try to rejoin them never come back!'' He said with a scary attitude.
''Oh that's so scary! Ok I'll don't try to consult the almighty raisin.''
''You promise?''
''Promise!''
''Okay now come to sleep.''
''okay!''
But Bob was very decided to go meet the almighty raisin, tomorrow, he'll miss school and he'll go accomplished his destiny. But before he enter in the Joe's hutt, it seems like he have see a little black stitche on the moon. That was strange becose he was moving slowly with black smoke behind.
''Bob! Come here!''
''Yeah, yeah.'' He said with eyes to the sky.
