Answer:

to explain why the culture honors cattle

Explanation:

In "The Beginnings of the Maasai," the Maasai people's daughter discusses Enkai. She recalls how a volcanic explosion propelled Enkai and the cattle. Enkai built a giant tree for the cattle to walk down and land on. Enkai entrusted the cattle to Neiterkob and his kin. The Maasai value their livestock highly and have a close relationship with Enkai.
