a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky
a volcano erupting
the narrator climbing a fig tree as a young girl
the cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree

Explanation:

Mythical features involve supernatural, non-realistic elements tied to cultural myths. "The Beginning of the Maasai" includes:

1. Flying cows (supernatural animal ability)
2. A giant sky-earth connecting tree (a cosmic, mythic structure)
3. Cattle walking down fig tree branches (tied to the sky-earth tree myth)
4. The narrator being a god's granddaughter (divine lineage, a mythic trope)

The other options are either a real natural event or a mundane human action, not mythical.

Answer:

• cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds
• a giant tree connecting the earth and the sky
• the cattle walking down the branches of the fig tree
• the narrator being the granddaughter of a god
