Very nice.

Here is my addendum -- hope you don't mind me adding my own myth to yours (perhaps your teacher will give you extra credit, for inspiring others.)

"Some of the newly created beings were not as fearful of Ikaika as the others, so Ikaika decided to reward their bravery. He gathered them around in a small circle. Ikaika chanted some powerful words, and the juice of two nearby coconuts were transformed, one into a colorless liquid, the other into a much darker liquid. Ikaika once again poured some coconut juice into his carved Tiki mug, and then added the newly created clear and dark liquids.

He offered the Tiki mug to those brave souls around him. They drank, and immediately became disoriented, and soon overcome by powerful dreams and visions of colorful liquids merging in a waterfall, which fed a stream, which flowed to a nearby village. They soon collapsed, and fell into a deep slumber. Ikaika watched over them, and protected them.

When the small group of brave souls awoke, Ikaika said "I have given you additional secrets of the islands. But now you must leave the island, and share your knowledge with others who live over the seas, in distant lands."

Ikaika gave names to those brave souls. There was Don the Beachcomber, and there was Trader Vic, and there was one named Ray Buhen destined to reach a small oasis named Tiki Ti. They sailed forth to their distant lands, in the direction of the rising morning sun....."

.... and the story continues from there.....
