Education is the key Anike Foundation promotes educational development in Africa by distributing educational resources to those in need, while providing access to educational facilities and other necessary infrastructure. We believe that a fundamental cause of poverty and a low standard of living in the world is mass illiteracy. Thus, anything that reduces mass illiteracy in any region of the world will inevitably reduce poverty and elevate the standard of living of the affected people. We choose to focus our efforts on Africa because, despite globalization in the twenty-first century, Africa remains, by far, the most impoverished continent in the world. Our goal is to contribute to the improvement of education and, thereby, the reduction of poverty in Africa. — Segun Ige, Ph.

He asked his mother every day, “Mother, when am I a man?” “When you provide food for your family.” “Oh.” He nodded his head and went out to play. Every night before he went to sleep, he asked his father, “Father, when will I become a man?” “When you build a house to rest in after a hard day’s work.” “Okay,” the little boy said as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Go out and see if you are able to be who you have desired to become.” But the boy didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know the first thing about having a family or feeding them! And so, because he didn’t want anyone to know he was clueless, he set out to find a family on his own and figure out a way to feed them himself. The young man walked through the forest until he came upon a beautiful bush, full of red and purple berries. “These look good to eat! I will feed them to my family, once I have one.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627269710110-QKYH5GCW1CHRSI1C3IR0/illustration3.jpg African Folktales - The Boy Who Wanted to be a Man So, the boy gathered the berries in a sack and kept walking. As he was turning back home, he saw a snake dropping from a tree. “Look, my family is falling down just to meet me.” So, he picked up the snake and put it in a satchel. The young man almost made it home when he stumbled across a wild piglet sniffing around a patch of trees. “My family will not even allow me to walk by them without making sure that I notice them and take them with me.” So, he tied up the piglet to a tree next to his home and went inside for bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627269816963-TP06C7J16LRRX731B57K/illustration4.jpg African Folktales - The Boy Who Wanted to be a Man He made sure he asked his father the same question before sleep came and this time, his father’s answer was different as well. “It is time for you to show that you can be a man. Tomorrow set out to do what you know to do.” But the young man didn’t close his eyes that night because he didn’t even know how to build a house! But he didn’t want anyone to know he was clueless. So instead of asking questions, the next day the young man took his snake, berries, and piglet, and traveled a little way past his ‘old’ home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627269931042-FGFA0AZGZMJVX420L7RZ/illustration5.jpg African Folktales - The Boy Who Wanted to be a Man He found a flat piece of land and decided, “This is a good spot to build my house.” He placed all his ‘family’ there and went to gather materials. He found straw and small pieces of wood, leaves and fine rope. A long time passed, but before dark the young man had built a small hut. He gathered his ‘family’ and went inside. “My father was right. After a day of hard work, all you want to do is relax in your own home.” He decided it was time to feed his family. He took the berries out of the sack, untied the piglet, and brought the snake out of the satchel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627270076984-4RUP06VHPAXNLDF0613K/illustration6.jpg African Folktales - The Boy Who Wanted to be a Man “I am now a man. I have found my family, provided them food, and have built my own house. Look at my piglet eating those beautiful berries!” But suddenly the piglet started squealing and turning colors. “Oh, no!” the young man cried. “The berries must be poisonous!” The piglet was squealing and stomping, causing such a commotion all around - then suddenly stepped on the snake! The snake was gravely injured and with its dying breath, struck the pig with a poisonous bite. The young man jumped back, fell, and knocked his tied straw hut down with a loud thump! When the scattered straw settled, all theyoung man could see were mushy berries, the purple piglet, and the squished snake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627270170257-D1XHJ18QQ9JGPTFNS8ZV/illustration7.jpg African Folktales - The Boy Who Wanted to be a Man He walked home dejected and told his parents what happened. His parents hugged him but told him cheerfully: “We knew you would have trouble son, but you wanted to grow up so badly. You are not aware that it takes quite a while to know how to be a man. Enjoy being our little boy! Enjoy every day, while you can, because tomorrow will come, whether you are ready for it or not.” The young man didn’t ask any questions that night but went to sleep soundly with a smile on his face, thinking about all the time he had to enjoy being a boy before he had to become a man. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/why-the-eagle-flies-higher-than-other-birds monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627268069444-U52TQYZQS6UB87Z8Y71T/eagle_tale_1.jpg African Folktales - Why The Eagle Flies Higher than Other Birds Edarais the last son of Akhema, a skillful carver and sculptor.

On their way, they met his father’s friend. As soon as they saw each other, his father’s friend began to call his father by his nickname, “Ahielenkpen,” which means “The Eagle”. After his father and his friend had greeted, they left each other and headed towards their intended direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627268404233-34ZWJRGL7OWC7P6M4CCG/eagle_tale_3.jpg African Folktales - Why The Eagle Flies Higher than Other Birds As soon as they parted, Ederaasked his father what his nickname meant and his father told him “eagle”. “Why eagle?” “Because eagle flies higher than every other bird, besides, it has other qualities which other birds do not have,” his father replied. “Why does the eagle fly higher than every other bird?” His son asked? “I shall tell you the story my son,” his father began. “When the Creator created each animal he gave them the opportunity to make a special request, which he granted...” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627268494446-FLZILDYN662O9EMWIUT7/eagle_tale_4.jpg African Folktales - Why The Eagle Flies Higher than Other Birds After the eagle was created, he made his own special request, which was that the creator should grant her the ability to fly above every other bird. The creator granted it with a condition, that it would be only through practice so that her eaglets could acquire the skill of flying higher than other birds. It would not be hereditary. The eagle agreed and left. Since then, the eagle had learned to teach her children how to fly higher than other birds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627268578284-BQWMHIMI64MS226YMH1Y/eagle_tale_5.jpg African Folktales - Why The Eagle Flies Higher than Other Birds The eagle started by making her nest on top of the tallest trees where she laid her eggs, incubated them and hatched them. When it was time for her eaglets to learn to fly, the tallest trees formed the lowest base. The eagle took her eaglets on routine flight practice. By so doing, the eagle flies higher than every other bird.” Akhematold told his son to let his own success form his beginning so that he would fly higher than him in the practice of their family business -carving and sculpturing. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-ears-never-get-past-the-head monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/ea791d42-82a8-49be-8006-dcabebf3dc32/The_ears_never_get_past_the_head_1.jpg African Folktales - The Ears Never Get Past the Head Once upon a time, there lived a family in a village near the large forest.

After listening to both of them, they said, “the only way we can prove whose baby this is is by determining the love you both have for it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/8b004df4-2802-46cb-b197-73c78ea96c72/a-mothers-love-the-story-of-two-crows_17.jpg African Folktales - A Mother’s Love (The Story of Two Crows) The other crows brought two giant leaves and put them in front of both crows. “The one who can cry the most tears and make this leaf wet will be the one who gets the baby.” The older crow was upset and said, “No, this does not determine anything. I do not need to cry to prove that this is my baby.” The other crows replied “Yes, you do. These tears will show us whether you really love your child.” With no choice left, the older crow reluctantly agreed and asked if she could go first. She first started by looking at the baby crow and squinting very hard, but nothing came out. She then tried blinking many times, but nothing came out. She then sang mourning songs and thought of sad memories, but nothing came out. She even tried to use the wind’s force by opening her eyes wide enough, but nothing came out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/bf071734-c583-443f-8892-3cbaa19c0748/a-mothers-love-the-story-of-two-crows_18.jpg African Folktales - A Mother’s Love (The Story of Two Crows) After a few minutes of nothing, the other crows gave the young mother her chance.

The older crow returned the child and said, “Maybe this is why all my children die! I have been too busy giving attention to other children and neglecting my own. And even when I stole this beautiful child, I did not feel the same love for her as a mother should.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/588a9874-25ea-4186-a3b2-1d7b1b614d2a/Panel_21.jpg African Folktales - A Mother’s Love (The Story of Two Crows) After this day, the older crow was able to have her own child https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/656fb56e-7cb6-4086-9610-8af29ca51e57/Panel_22.jpg African Folktales - A Mother’s Love (The Story of Two Crows) and she loved it with all her heart. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/akara-ogun-meets-agbako-in-forest-of-a-thousand-daemons monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/72b0a097-f5d0-4e3c-b12c-260b9e516b08/Akara-Ogun+Meets+Agbako+in+Forest+of+a+Thousand+Daemons_1.jpg African Folktales - Akara-Ogun Meets Agbako in Forest of a Thousand Daemons On the third day of my sojourn in the forest of Irunmole, I woke up and ate. Unfortunately, I ate so much that I forgot all the charms I needed at the foot of the palm tree. All I remembered to carry were my gun, cutlass and hunting-bag, which I slung over my shoulder, and headed to the forest. I started encountering game soon after entering the forest, but they went helter-skelter, evading my shots. Soon after, I heard a rumbling that sounded like six hefty men approaching. It was Agbako, a sixteen-eyed monster whose tales I had often heard from my predecessors. Seeing him, I was terrified. Once he saw me, I became his target. When I felt he was too close, I ordered the road to seize him, but not only did it seize him, I was also seized and thrust right in front of Agbako. Terrified, I conjured earth to return me to the road; it did, but Agbako was right there waiting for me. Now, I invoked ogede and commanded the road to take him to the bush to be bound by forest ropes, but I was not spared by this as well. When the thongs began to strangle me, I yelled to be released and set back on the road; it happened, but Agbako was there again to receive me. Fed up, we began wrestling, sweating profusely, our eyeballs reddened, the ground shone brightly; yet no one toppled the other. Soon, I was exhausted, but not he. I untwined my arms, but he held me fast and only released me when he perceived my tiredness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/a4eeb6f7-00fb-42f5-a79c-02a0e0fe8f4b/Akara-Ogun+Meets+Agbako+in+Forest+of+a+Thousand+Daemons_2.jpg African Folktales - Akara-Ogun Meets Agbako in Forest of a Thousand Daemons I was exhausted, but not he. I untwined my arms, but he held me fast and only released me when he perceived my tiredness.1 Agbako sat down and served us palm-wine, which he got from a gourd in his pouch. After I had rested a while and the palm-wine was almost exhausted, he said we should resume our strife, which we did. After wrestling for a while, I drew my cutlass, slipped behind him, and slammed him on the back of his head, but the cutlass broke into two while he was unscathed. Surprisingly, he joined the broken cutlass, made it new again and said the fight should continue. Completely exhausted, I hit him on the side with my cutlass, but he in turn cut my arm and the cutlass off with his sword, and I came crashing to the ground in deep pain. While I groaned in pain, Agbako took my missing arm, fitted it on the stump, spat on his hand, and when he had rubbed the spittle on the joint, my hand returned to normal as though it was never cut off. Then he looked at me, laughed and said the contest must continue. In terror, I said to myself “E-ya! Is this not the certain approach of the end?” So I cried aloud: “Spirits of the woods! Pilgrims of the road! - hasten to my rescue!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/9afa0ca8-83df-428f-9d17-a4f027596cb0/Akara-Ogun+Meets+Agbako+in+Forest+of+a+Thousand+Daemons_3.jpg African Folktales - Akara-Ogun Meets Agbako in Forest of a Thousand Daemons Shortly after, all beings in the forest of Irunmole came, ghommids, birds and animals, yet Agbako acted like he saw no one. He pulled me up and we grappled anew, with him returning every blow I gave him while the leaves and the forest were in dead silence. One of the ghommids that had been watching us signaled to Agbako to release me, which he did. Then he gave me a slice of kola-nut, which I ate and instantly regained a new vitality and strength equal to that of sixteen men. I charged at Agbako and seized him by the neck till he bellowed like a beast, which made all the ghommids cheer. But when I tried to lift him up and smash him to the ground, his foot was firm and did not move at all. He, in turn, tried to lift my legs, but I too was firm and did not feel any of his kicks and blows. Then his entire body turned scorching hot and his breath was like a violent storm. And then, to prove that he was indeed Agbako the master, he stomped his feet, and the earth opened and swallowed both of us. Below the earth, I found myself in a strange house, but there was no sign of Agbako. Not until the day of our journey to mount Langbodo would I encounter him again, but I will never forget what I experienced until my escape from the depths of the earth. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-despising-king monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622756033432-UE3UA6CCD0FGJR22LF2K/Img1DespisingKing.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King Once upon a time, there was a King who ruled the land of Okaigo. The King had a kind heart and his people loved him. The King would seek advice in every matter that required his attention from his Council of Chiefs, despite his age and position. With the advice he received, he was able to rule his people peacefully for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847112701-AAOIMVMQ64EB5S22WB1C/2nd+coloured.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King One day, the King fell sick and the heir apparent, his eldest son, was told to perform some ritual before the second cockcrow to save his father’s life. The young man agreed, but before sunset, he went to his concubine’s house in the next village and slept till the following morning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847160416-PHUH1MF2XPU916HKHM1I/DespisingKing_IMG3.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King He could not perform the ritual and, on his return, he met people crying in the palace. The elders were not happy about what he did, as a result, the elders decided to suspend his coronation and asked him to pay a fine before his father would be buried. He paid the fine and his father was buried. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847176329-K3V50D6XEZ5OXGUUCMMY/DespisingKing_IMG4.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King As the heir apparent, he took over his father’s throne, pending when the Council of Chiefs would crown him. The heir apparent began to rule, but he did not take any advice from the Council of Chiefs. Even when the elders deliberately advised him, he would not take it. He was very much unlike his father. He did what was right in his own eyes and not what would benefit the people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847195491-8NIC5UVO9S1AUAM0K1KK/DespisingKing_IMG5.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King One day, the Council of Chiefs decided to crown him as a result of the pressure and threat he put on them through the palace guard. This made the entire town of Okaigo all agog. The elders and people were gathered at the Market Square, which was the usual venue for the final celebration for past Kings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847210519-WCEN76ORBVWBC1PNULIL/DespisingKing_IMG6.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King The chiefs and the family in charge of the coronation went to the palace to dress the King for the coronation. During this period, the King was not expected to take breakfast but dinner after the coronation. But Ologhe, the heir apparent, insisted that he must eat the delicious red melon prepared by his wife. All attempts by the chiefs, elders, wives and friends advising him against eating the food did not succeed. Eventually, he ate the food and a fragment of it hanged on his moustache. It was very visible because the color of the fragment of the melon was red and the King did not know; neither did anybody tell him because he had not taken to previous advice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847225083-EHSQTCFJPLUSIV6J5QDO/DespisingKing_IMG7.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King The King was crowned in the palace, and it was time for him to dance with his family, chiefs, elders and friends who accompanied him to the Market Square for the final celebration. Unknown to him, the fragment of red melon was still conspicuously hanging on his moustache. As the dance progressed, the drummer saw the fragment of the red melon on the King’s moustache and translated it through his talking drum thus: The King who does not listen to advice, There is a fragment of red melon in your moustache. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622847237980-IMTQIVKPRCZGEAAQ1S21/DespisingKing_IMG8.jpg African Folktales - The Despising King The King immediately touched his moustache and the red melon fragment soiled his hand, which made him angry. After the celebration, the King summoned his chiefs, elders, wives and friends. He asked them why they did not tell him that there was a fragment of red melon in his moustache. They all responded with one voice, that because he had never listened to any advice or correction, they could not tell him. The King was sorry for his past disobedience to his people’s advice and he promised to take corrections, suggestions and advice in the future. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/talk-talk monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079126053-UGWEUIQGHO70TE049CGQ/Untitled_Artwork+195.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" Once upon a time, Tortoise owned a pineapple farm by the roadside. The pineapple farm was located beyond a stream and contained orange, mango, pineapple and other fruit trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079345597-XYPEN2UDJWIBP4RVNG3W/Untitled_Artwork+197.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" Sometimes, the fruit on the trees would ripen and fall. Whenever the pineapples in Tortoise’s farm would ripen, Squirrel and her children would go to the farm to eat every ripe pineapple they could find. The issue was not that they ate the pineapple, but they would go around the large farm and would take a bite out of every ripe pineapple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079407647-657ELY78YCO6VXJ8CUBL/Untitled_Artwork+196.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" As a result, the pineapples became unsellable and unacceptable as gifts. Once any part of a ripe pineapple was eaten, the pineapple would emit a smell that allowed other animals to find it easily. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079482093-PEMH7NGI6BI7TDZ9OITD/Untitled_Artwork+198.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" Tortoise noticed this and monitored those responsible. He found that Squirrel and her children were to blame. Tortoise warned them to stop eating his pineapple and even enlisted the help of their neighbors in the matter, but Squirrel did not heed his advice. As the problem got worse, Tortoise became angry and was prepared to fight her in order to keep her away from his farm. However, whenever Tortoise saw Squirrel on his farm, she was always on top of a palm tree, or some other tree that was impossible for Tortoise to climb. There was no way that Tortoise could engage Squirrel in a fight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079567961-XGYP033GFMH1JICGETYY/Untitled_Artwork+199.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" Regardless, Tortoise knew that he had to stop Squirrel from eating his pineapples. He concluded that he would ask the local priest to curse anyone eating his pineapple. When Squirrel heard the news, she pleaded with Tortoise. Because of the other people who joined her plea, Tortoise forgave Squirrel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079618817-MTVA73ZUG6MJSW5W3LFE/Untitled_Artwork+200.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" However, he would not spare her from the ‘talk-talk’, meaning that whenever Squirrel and her children passed through the stream, Tortoise would gather his friends and tell them what Squirrel and her children did to him. Squirrel was not happy about this. One day, she reminded Tortoise he had forgiven her. Tortoise would always tell her that, while she was forgiven, she would continue to be the subject of gossip, and that she shouldn’t be annoyed when she heard him gossiping, or doing the ‘talk-talk.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1622079683196-271AA3FAEOQPTY3XH4JW/Untitled_Artwork+201.png African Folktales - "Talk-Talk" Each time squirrel and her children were passing by Tortoise’s pineapple farm, they would be tempted to eat the ripe pineapple in the farm. Sometimes, the pineapple would ripen and fall towards the road so that it caught the attention of passersby. Although squirrel and her children passed through that road all the time, they stopped stealing Tortoise’s pineapple, not because they did not want to eat pineapple anymore but because they were afraid of ‘talk-talk,’ which Tortoise used as a deterrent against their wrongdoing. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/why-the-dog-barks monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/3f813350-45d0-44d6-b251-79c7e0bac331/wtDb_01colored.jpg African Folktales - Why the dog barks The dog and the tortoise were once good friends.

The mother took him to every doctor in Ebewen in the hope that one of them might be able to cure her son. After days of searching, it appeared that none of the doctors had the ability to rescue Imaria from the wrath of this disease. However, Imaria soon recovered, even though he now lacked the ability to walk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612212685453-CN26OZ52H9Q717D3NSCH/2+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Until he contracted polio, Imaria had grown up and belonged with every other child in Ebewen. Now he was subjected to seclusion, as his parents were ashamed to send a disabled child to school with individuals deemed more able. In spite of the efforts of Imaria’s friends to help him continue with his studies, his parents remained stubborn in their choice. However, Imaria soon took up farm work, which seemed to suit him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612212765804-NBP27KT135GL0IZQBI04/3+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Each time Imaria went to the farm, he passed through the village, which meant passing through Onofua’s house. Each time Onofua’s wife saw Imaria, she would mock him because of his walking ability. She would look at him and say, “Will this boy ever find a wife to marry?” Initially the little boy would laugh and draw his legs with the help of his cane. Gradually, the young man became conscious of the woman’s statement and considered it to be an insult. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213046759-Q74WS80SX4AEAUQG979L/4+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED When the woman repeated her taunts, he would cry, and tell his mother. After each incident, his mother would tell him that if he achieved anything at all, then this woman would show him respect. Onofua and his wife had three daughters. One day, the most beautiful daughter fell ill. Just like Imaria’s parents, Onofua’s wife went to every doctor in the village. Yet again, no doctor could cure her. Her parents had lost hope that she would ever recover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213098813-1YKXQSI0IFYW70N3GXAK/5+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED One late evening, as Imaria was returning from the farm, he met an old woman carrying firewood. She was tired and weak, and as he approached her, the old woman’s walking stick snapped. Imaria became sympathetic to the old woman and offered help. He gave the old woman his own walking stick and, in spite of his disability, helped her to carry her load. When they got to a junction, the old woman returned the stick and took the firewood. She thanked him and told him to touch her with the walking stick, which he did. The old woman then transformed into a very young girl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213194999-UCQEJS20303V1AL8KUO1/6+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED She told him to take the walking stick home and use it to assist people suffering from illness. She told him that if he touched a sick person with a walking stick, they would heal. When Imaria got home, he found that his mother had fallen ill. Seizing the chance, he used the walking stick as he was instructed. Soon after, his mother became well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213256770-PIOOJOVFRCKFH7X4PFYH/7+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Word of Imaria’s newly discovered magic passed through the village as his family began inviting sick people within the community to receive this strange treatment. Many came, and left Imaria’s home healed. However, when Onofua’s wife heard the news, she was afraid to take her daughter there. Her husband fell ill too. Still, she refused. Her neighbors forced her to take her husband to Imaria when his sickness became worse. She resisted, but eventually gave in to the pressure. As soon as they got there, Onofua was cured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213302905-K2RIBAVGXHQNM4X7BNEK/8+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED At the sight of this wonder, Onofua’s wife was persuaded to bring her daughter to Imaria in order to cure her. When she pleaded to Imaria for help, Imaria was adamant that he would only help on one condition. He would only heal this woman’s daughter if she married him when she became well. The mother pleaded again, but Imaria ignored her. Onofua and his wife went home. Every time they saw their daughter suffer, they were filled with sadness. One day, they decided that it was better for their daughter to marry Imaria than to remain in her pains. So, they took her there and Imaria worked his magic. The daughter became well, and the wishes of her family and Imaria were fulfilled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1612213459852-1FJMVDWGCDENHHEC1MGM/9+%282%29.png African Folktales - THE WISE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED Because of his new and immense wealth that accumulated due to his gift, Imaria planned a wedding for himself and his bride to be. The events of the wedding brought one final gift. Watching their daughter dance, Onofua and his wife became regretful - their daughter was well, but what about Imaria? The effects of his disease were still present. Imaria was aware of this, too. He knew what to do. He tapped his right leg with the walking stick, and sure enough, he was able to stand fully. The family then forgot about their sorrows, and began to dance in happiness. Imaria and his wife were safe, and everything was going to be okay. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/how-the-tortoise-got-the-cracks-on-his-shell monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1623557656533-S863SVAO683KCXYPSHTD/How+The+Tortoise+Got+The+Cracks+On+His+Shell_Pg1_Compressed.jpg African Folktales - How the Tortoise Got the Cracks On His Shell - How The Tortoise Got The Cracks On His Shell A Nigerian Folktale https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1623296823402-TRGQCVPHRAHVP0BPC2QK/How+The+Tortoise+Got+The+Cracks+On+His+Shell_Pg2_Compressed.jpg African Folktales - How the Tortoise Got the Cracks On His Shell Once upon a time in the animal kingdom, there was a famine.

As a result of keeping bad friends, Atul’s beauty suddenly went to her head. Instead of assisting her mother, Atule became disobedient, rude and hostile. She did not assist her mother in any domestic work; rather, she would consciously dress to enhance her beauty and began to showcase herself. All efforts by her mother and neighbors to convince her that she was on the wrong track did not yield good results. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1621795297698-A6NQQC5BE75DA1PRECEY/Untitled_Artwork+198.png African Folktales - Mother's Legacy Atule would go out in the morning and return late in the evening to eat and sleep. The next morning before cockcrow, Atule would take her bath and get ready for the unrewarding day. At some point, her mother could no longer bear it; she decided to punish her. Each time Atule came in when the soup was on the hearth, her mother would go back to the pot of soup. Even though she had already added all the ingredients that the soup required, she would dust her palms into the pot of soup, and seemingly invite all the ingredients to come into the pot of soup. Meanwhile, her daughter would sit down to watch her and from there she thought she had learned how to cook soup, not knowing her mother was deceiving her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1621795443054-UBX4LYRJI5XG52JY9XTO/Untitled_Artwork+199.png African Folktales - Mother's Legacy One day, as fate would have it, Atule’s mother died. She had no option than to go and stay with her mother’s relatives. While she was there, she continued with her lifestyle. Her mother’s relatives could not tolerate her, just like her mother. For that reason, Atule left for Jagba Jogbo with her new suitor. In the tradition of Jagba Jogbo, when a man married a new wife, the woman must cook soup for the family of her husband. The soup must be cooked with vegetable leaves. It was regarded as the simplest and cheapest to cook.

The mother rejected Atule because it was taboo to marry a wife who could not cook soup in their community. The family of her husband simply gathered and told her to go and that, until she had learned to cook, she could not come back and be Atule’s wife.

At some point, the poor woman’s little daughter could not bear the hunger anymore. Her cry forced her mother to go to the rich woman in the neighborhood to beg for food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1628135520344-3UN283XUAPTL66QSXQ4V/4.jpg African Folktales - The Poor Woman In the Neighborhood The rich woman in the neighborhood and her seven daughters booed the poor woman and drove her away from their house. The poor woman went outside the gate with her daughter and began to beg and cry but the rich woman and her daughters did not care; rather, they went out and drove her further away. One of the rich woman’s daughters sniped at her: “Do you think we would ever need anything from you?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1628135210320-2U1KP9784U1ROHJZA44S/5.jpg African Folktales - The Poor Woman In the Neighborhood The poor woman and her little daughter went home without any food. They felt as if they would be hungry forever. As they were approaching their house, they saw somebody standing in the road. At first, they did not recognize the person, but when they got closer … behold! It was the poor woman’s sister-in-law. She came to visit and also brought a lot of food with her. The poor woman quickly opened the door, took her in and told her about their ordeal. Her visitor presented the food she brought for her and the poor woman quickly cooked. They ate and slept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1628135266475-UWQIH5S202DW5WQ3VPMB/6.JPG African Folktales - The Poor Woman In the Neighborhood The herbalist told them to pay him some money; in addition, he asked them to bring an empty palm bunch. At that time, palm bunch was very scarce. The only place it could be found was the poor woman’s house. Because of what they had done to the poor woman, they were afraid to go to her house and ask for help. Finally, to save their mother’s life they summoned enough courage to go to the poor woman’s house. When they got to her house, the poor woman asked for half of the rich woman’s wealth before she would give out one empty palm bunch for the preparation of the concoction that would cure their mother’s ailment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1628135342136-NMW17F5WBK0KHKU7YGYR/7.jpg African Folktales - The Poor Woman In the Neighborhood The rich woman’s children pleaded for leniency, but the poor woman did not yield. She insisted on her demand. The rich woman’s children invited other people in the neighborhood to come and help them to beg the poor woman to accept one quarter of their mother’s wealth in exchange for an empty palm bunch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1628135385985-47KDBF6G967Y2PEGL7E9/8.jpg African Folktales - The Poor Woman In the Neighborhood They came and pleaded, but the woman refused. She told the people what the rich woman and her daughters did to her and her daughter when they had no food to eat. The people sided with the poor woman and blamed the rich woman and her daughter. Meanwhile, the rich woman’s sickness became so serious that her daughters had no other option than to give the poor woman half of their mother’s wealth to save their mother’s life. The moral of this story is that we should not take our good fortunes in life for granted. Conditions could change: the needy of today could become the rich of tomorrow and vice versa. When we are blessed, we should share our blessings with those in need. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/why-antelope-lives-in-the-bush monthly 0.5 2021-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627355898896-B5F26J927OWOGQTXMTB8/Antelope_And_Goat-Draft_1-Scene_1.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush In an ancient community, Goat and Antelope once shared a home with an owner. While they were being tamed, they were told not to tamper with their owner’s food supply. Goat and Antelope were herbivores, so they were only expected to eat grass. But each time their owner or his wife returned from the farm with yams or vegetables, Goat and Antelope would leave for the farm and eat the food that had grown there. When their owner and his wife returned to the farm and found that the food there had been eaten, they would become irate, and warn Antelope and Goat not to repeat their actions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627356036239-L2J1BFZZTF4S7TJE884K/Antelope_And_Goat_Scene_2.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush One day, the owner’s wife went to the farm and came home with the only tuber of yam left in the barn. It was planting season and they had planted their yams. She had put her pot on the stove in the kitchen, and had carried the tuber of yam on a tray. Intending to peel the yam, she placed the tray on the ground and remembered that she had left her knife inside the house. Immediately, she went back to retrieve it. When she returned, she discovered that Goat had eaten the yam. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627358147625-DNWJ838TMECRPPSALI4C/A_G_Scene_3.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush “Oh, no!” she cried. She took her cane and immediately began to flog Goat. As she was flogging Goat, Antelope came in and saw how her friend was being treated. She and Goat pleaded for forgiveness, and their master’s wife heeded after she struck Goat in the back. Antelope sympathized with Goat, retrieved some herbs, and treated her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627360432098-AUCAC5ZZF1YF8UC6FKIO/A_G_Scene_4.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush Another evening, Antelope roamed the back of the house and found vegetables sitting on the tray. Quickly, she began to eat them. When the owner’s wife discovered Antelope, she flogged him to a state of stupor. Antelope was weeping when Goat came into the house. “What’s the matter?” Goat asked. “We cannot survive on grass and tuber peals alone, sometimes we also need part of what they eat. If they refuse to share their food with us, then we shall take what we find.” “I cannot do that. How long am I going to receive these insults?” Antelope asked. “Well, I am ready to take these insults as long as I live,” Goat replied. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627360582851-O49MWPN723X78RNV8FZ2/A_G_Scene_5.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush One morning, their master’s wife boiled a pot of water to cook beans for her family. She had used a sieve to separate the beans from the stones. Suddenly, it began to rain, and the wife went to retrieve some bowls in order to collect rainwater. As soon as she left, Goat and Antelope entered the kitchen and devoured the beans. When the wife discovered this, she told the owner of the incident, and both began to beat Goat and Antelope like they had never done before. The beatings were so severe that Goat and Antelope had to be taken to the neighboring village for treatment. After they recovered and returned home, Antelope decided that she couldn’t bear the beatings anymore. Goat pleaded with her to bear the pain. She knew she had to bear the pain to survive, but Antelope refused goat’s plea because she knew she could survive in the bush without their tamers. Once again, Goat and Antelope ate their owners’ yam, and were threatened with another beating. Before the owners managed to act, Antelope told Goat that she could not stand another punishment, and ran away. Because Antelope knew that she could fend for herself, she was able to escape punishment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627360748727-12LNMCRLR6G6KIJFA617/A_G_Scene_6.jpg African Folktales - Why Antelope Lives in the Bush However, Goat did not believe in her own independence, and therefore suffered another beating. When the beating was finished, Goat stood up and dusted herself down. In order to survive, Goat tried to convince herself that, because of the punishment, she was stronger and more able to live with her owner. However, try as she might, Goat could not shake off the idea that Antelope had managed to escape the beatings because she believed in her ability to act independently. Due to Goat’s lack of confidence, she would not be able to escape her owner and was doomed to live with him until today. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/why-hawks-kill-chicks-not-owlets monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262158619-NVMHSA37JRMGOB8OH97N/Hawk_1.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets Once upon a time, there was a hawk that carried a young owlet away whilst the parents watched quietly. When the hawk arrived at its homestead, the hawk’s parents asked what mother owl said. He responded that mother owlet was quiet and never said a thing. The hawk’s parents advised him to return the young owlet because one could not tell what was in the mind of a quiet or undemonstrative person: they could be plotting some acts of deep and cruel revenge in their minds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262232776-5VCO9VX19QDV3CX5MSUJ/Hawk_2.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets The next day, the hawk carried the owlet back to his parents and left him near the nest. He then flew around, trying to find some other birds to prey upon but, because all the birds had heard that the hawk had seized the owlet, they hid themselves and would not come out when the hawk was near. He therefore could not catch any birds. As he was flying home, he saw a lot of fowls near a coop basking in the sun and scratching in the dust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262269094-NC0Y6Z1EJIDWWQXR3CLR/Hawk_3.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets There were also several small chicks running around, chasing insects, or picking up anything they could find to eat, with mother hen following, clucking, and calling them from time to time. When the hawk saw the chicks, he made up his mind that he would take one, so he swooped down and caught the s smallest with his strong claws . As soon as he seized the chick, the cocks began to make a lot of noise. The hen ran after him and tried to make him drop her child, calling loudly, with her feathers fluffed out and making dashes at him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262317160-6FOB3MWCOK1KLMVGLKNU/Hawk_4.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets But he carried it off, and all the fowls and chicks ran together into their coop, screaming, some taking shelter under bushes and others trying to hide themselves in the long grass. He then carried the chick to the king, telling him that he had returned the owlet to his parents since he did not want him for food. The king then told the hawk that in the future he could always feed on chicks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262377891-00SPHC84BSU1S071BK00/Hawk_5.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets The hawk took the chick home. There was a friend who dropped in to see him. He asked him what the parents of the chick did when they saw their child taken away. The hawk said, "They all made a lot of noise and mother hen tried to chase me but, although there was a lot of disturbance amongst the fowls, nothing else happened.” His friend said that, because the fowls had made much fuss, it was safe to kill and eat their chicks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1627262441872-YXSCR1HOELP15H1O22D0/Hawk_6.jpg African Folktales - Why Hawks Kill Chicks, Not Owlets The people who made plenty of noise in the daytime would go to sleep at night and not disturb him, or do him any injury. The people to be afraid of were those who, when injured, kept silent: you could be certain they were plotting mischief and would do harm at night. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/woe-or-happiness monthly 0.5 2021-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615951755207-Q4R212VFANI7WXJNAT8N/Woe-Happiness-PG1.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness Once upon a time in a village lived the King, his wife, his daughter and the whole population of the kingdom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615951855568-OD2F7FAORAUCNONKSMYJ/Woe-Happiness-PG2.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness One morning, a man who lived in the kingdom decided to go to the forest as usual to look for food for his family. When he arrived, he saw a hare and began to pursue it. However, like any living soul, the hare was afraid of being caught and killed, so he hid in a hole near an old tree. While the man was pursuing this animal, he was not alone. There were other pursuers – the Lion and the Snake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952013516-GJJBYYL6DEQVJECKCMGR/Woe-Happiness-PG3.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness When he arrived in front of the hole that the hare had entered, the man saw the Lion roaring at his side and the snake that tried to break into the hole in which the hare had hidden. By disrupting the hole, the old tree nearby fell on them. All of them began to cry for help, “Help, please save us!” Suddenly, a hunter who happened to live in this forest heard the cries of anguish and decided to approach to get a better understanding of what was happening. As soon as he arrives, he sees the man, the lion and the snake stuck under a tree and needing the hunter to save them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952373564-PJ7OLFLBO8K7X2OG6TMX/Woe-Happiness-PG4.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness The hunter turned to the snake on the side and said, “You snake, you know that you bite people, you even bite animals in this forest. If I release you, you will turn against me and you will bite me too, so I cannot save you.” The snake told him, “No my lord, that will not happen. Please do save me!” Therefore, the hunter took pity on them all and released them. A few days after the hunter helped the man, the lion and the snake, the King's daughter told her servants that she needed to go swimming in the river in the forest. Once the King’s daughter and her six servants arrived near the river, the lion sprang, attacked and then fell on the King’s daughter; all her servants panicked, running in her direction while crying, “Help us, help us!!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952424291-U98BCFUZDO83Z6ML0QZN/Woe-Happiness-PG5.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness In the meantime, the lion had caught the King's daughter. He refused to eat her but carried her alive in appreciation of the hunter who had saved him. The lion said to the hunter, “Dear hunter, you remember the day I was stuck under the tree and asked you to save me, I made you a promise that I would offer you a gift that you never dreamed of. So my gift is this girl that I give you as a wife.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952480931-OM5YSK7D1HVV01EFGMFZ/Woe-Happiness-PG6.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness Following this, the King organized a memorial for his daughter, but signed a decree that he would give whoever found his daughter everything he owned except the royal power. “But what will happen?” the man that had saved the hunter said to his wife. “We have nothing to eat. I'm going into the forest and maybe we can get something to eat.” His wife reminded him to be careful and not to make a misstep. As soon as he entered the forest, he saw the King's daughter sitting next to the hunter. Quickly, he brought the news to the King., only to tell him that they had searched everywhere but had not found the girl. He said, “King, I found it, I found your daughter, she lives with a man in the middle of the forest.” So the King asked the man who brought the message to explain it in these terms, “Son, please tell me, have you actually seen my only daughter that I’ve been searching for every day alive?” The man replied, “Yes, my King, I saw your daughter sitting next to a poor man in the forest. She's alive.” From the palace, the King ordered the Kingdom soldiers and the witness who saw his daughter to immediately stop the person who kept his daughter for several days without informing him. When the soldiers arrived in the forest, they found the King's daughter and the hunter in their box and took them to the village. When the King saw his daughter, he ordered them to give to the one who found his daughter everything he needed, and they did it. But the hunter was imprisoned and sentenced to the death penalty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952695217-EK1HPKXBT9S1JRRPXIKX/Woe-Happiness-PG7.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness When the execution day came, the King told his advisors to inform the whole kingdom population to come and attend the execution of the man who had kidnapped his daughter. Everyone came to answer the call of the King to see how the hunter would be hanged. As everyone awaited the hunter’s death, the snake saved by the hunter in the forest came to see him in prison. The snake gave him an antidote and told him to take it while he stood guard, saying, “When the King decides to leave his house to give the order to execute you, I will bite him. We will then seek someone who has the antidote to save the King and then you will cry that you know how to save him.” As the King left his house, the snake bit him just as he crossed the threshold of his house. The King fainted, everyone panicked and the King’s advisors began to ask the crowd, “Who can save the King?” But nobody answered. For the second time, they asked, “Who knows how we can save the King?” The hunter in the prison cried with a loud voice, saying, “I'm going to save him.” Therefore, the King's men led the hunter where the King was lying and gave him a few drops of antidote in the mouth. Once the King opened his eyes, he asked, “Who saved me?” His advisors said to him, “Please, King, it was the hunter you wanted to kill that saved you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615952746532-XXXMP4XC19AFR6VFUN90/Woe-Happiness-PG8.jpg African Folktales - Woe or Happiness Against all odds, the King ordered the hunter's immediate release, gave him his only daughter as his wife and made him second in succession to the King. After this event, the snake came again to see the hunter and said to him, “Do you remember what I told you the day I was stuck by the tree in the forest?” The hunter replied, “Yes, I remember you promised me that you would save me one day and that day is definitely here. I thank you with all my heart,” said the hunter to the snake. Lesson: Why did the man that the hunter had helped not acknowledge his help? Why did he not try to warn the hunter to let the princess go back to her father lest he be arrested or under penalty of being sentenced to death? From this story, we learn that we should be grateful to those who help us. Like the lion and the snake that recognized that they went through a very difficult time and the hunter that helped them, be grateful. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/a-woman-and-a-bird monthly 0.5 2023-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/ccada647-9f29-4fc4-89d5-89c1f9c4aac1/Image2_cropped_compressed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/ccada647-9f29-4fc4-89d5-89c1f9c4aac1/Image2_cropped_compressed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/6f63468e-0ee4-4d40-a050-f87bf0a8b925/Image3_cropped_compressed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/82b51991-9e02-43fc-9982-e226a48745d3/Image4_cropped_compressed.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/db929fd2-5725-4eed-93f2-5113ae24c593/Image5_cropped_compressed.jpg https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-kings-daughters monthly 0.5 2021-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615387981661-FHOLI6V4QZYK71GS3W56/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters A long time ago, a wealthy king had three beautiful daughters. They had everything they wanted offered to them on a platter of gold. However, only one thing was lacking in their life, none of them had a husband, nor did they have a suitor. This made the king very unhappy. He had food, but he could not eat. What shall we do now? He asked his wife. I want my children to be happily married, but they think that no one is good enough for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320816787-D1NPMLSNUT57VYNW6LJR/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters The king’s daughters’ were however not bothered. “I want to marry the richest man alive,” said the oldest sister. “I want to marry the most handsome man,” the younger sister said arrogantly. As for the youngest sister, “I want to marry a king like my father. Only he will be richer and more powerful. Oh! What a life I shall live being the queen of a great empire.” Their mother the queen added, “Whoever marries my daughters will be a lucky man, seeing how beautiful they all are. Oh no! My daughters will only marry the best men in the whole land.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320869648-AWTFXJL7J11QX9CWEH10/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters The king’s heart was very troubled. He told his wife, “ I’m finding my daughters men who will love and care for them. I will not watch them grow old without husbands and children.” Do whatever you want, said the queen, but my daughters will only marry anyone who can tell their names. That way, I will be sure they are marrying the wisest man in the entire land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320851009-ZIONUM45DM655MS9U9F5/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters It was announced throughout the land, that the king wanted the wisest man to marry his children. Whoever could tell their names would be given their hands in marriage. The rich and famous went with gifts to the palace to try but they couldn’t guess the princesses’ names. No one ever called them by their real names. Everyone called them “the princesses”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320892676-5O1CB69W5Q2BZWRIRJTC/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters Soon, every available man in the land had gone to ask for the princesses’ hands in marriage, but no one could tell their names. So, the tortoise, a very crafty animal decided he would give it a try. But before he went to the palace, he sneaked around the princesses, following them everywhere without their knowledge. Just when the tortoise started to think there was no hope for him, luck smiled on him one day. The princesses went apple picking on the outskirts of the town. They hadn’t gone very far when the youngest princess saw a bike. Now, a bike was a very uncommon sight in those days. The youngest princess was so excited that she started singing. As she sang, she called her older sister by her real name. The younger sister rushed over, and she did the same, calling their oldest sister. They ended up singing together, dancing around the bike and calling each other’s name. That was how the tortoise knew all their names. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320931672-XVJX4VV1FFXUZGNN38BI/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters But alas, the tortoise remembered all the princesses’ names. He went to the palace and told the king. The whole town gathered, and the tortoise said the name of each princess. Everyone was shocked. The king had no choice but to give all his daughters to the tortoise as his wives. The princesses and the queen were extremely sad. But there was nothing anyone could do. And so, the tortoise started to take the princesses home as his wives. On their way to tortoise’ home, the princesses were so ashamed, that they each chose a very different livestyle rather than become the tortoise’ wife. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615320949275-IUN8OO0X2QGOW6UWAUAR/Slide8.JPG African Folktales - The King's Daughters And so it happened that since that day, no one ever saw any of the princesses again. The king and queen were very sad, but there was nothing anyone could do. If only the princesses and their mother had known, they would not have been so proud and arrogant in choosing their husbands. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-midnight-goat-thief monthly 0.5 2021-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259877967-X8W8ZBWG0LEK2KG3S2JD/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Once upon a time, Hare, tired of living alone, decided it was time to find himself a companion. He decided to make the journey to the neighboring village to meet his future in-laws. As was customary, he needed someone to accompany him on this important occasion. So, he asked his long-time friend and happy-go-lucky fellow Baboon. He readily agreed. Then, Hare and Baboon were on their way to the in-laws. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259893305-1OD9RF43LN4COYG45MF3/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief When they were half through the journey, Hare stopped Baboon near a dense shrub and said, “Say friend Baboon, there is one important favor I need to ask of you.” “Yes, friend Hare, let me know what it is I can do.” ‘Do you see this herb?’ said Hare. “Yes, friend. It is the herb used to cure a tummy ache,” said Baboon. “Well done friend!” said Hare. “When we get to my in-law’s place, they will give us food. When I eat the food, I may suffer from a tummy ache. Friend, you will quickly run back to this exact place, to this shrub. Dig up the roots and bring them back to cure me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259917727-0AJ8H4F988HAL2LUDE6A/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Baboon agreed and they continued their journey. At sunset, they reached the in-law’s village. Hare and Baboon were well received and given a room to rest. Both Hare and Baboon were hungry and looked forward to the meal. A feast was made in their honor and brought to their room. As they took the first bite of the meal, Hare interrupted Baboon. “Friend, I think that problem is already starting. My tummy is rumbling and is starting to ache. Do you remember the herb? Rush and get me some of it! Otherwise, I may not survive the night!” Baboon panicked and quickly sprinted off to get the herb for Hare’s tummy. Meanwhile, Hare settled comfortably and devoured the whole feast all alone. When he had his fill, he called for the dishes to be removed. Soon, Baboon, huffing and puffing, tumbled into the room with the herb. “Here you are friend, I ran as fast as I could. I found the tree. I dug the roots and I brought them to cure your aching tummy!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259942240-Q3N3AEJ452DHJLSAHX64/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Hare exclaimed, “Hmm, about that … ! As soon as you left my tummy suddenly felt better and I could eat. Now I feel quite strong!” “So, where is my food then?” asked Baboon. Hare told Baboon the host had cleared the dishes. Baboon was disappointed but the two friends went to sleep. In the middle of the night, hunger kept Baboon awake. Hare suggested a plan to steal and eat a goat from the pen outside. Baboon readily agreed to the plan and soon the two pals accomplished their mission and returned to their room. But lo and behold, while Baboon slept, Hare stealthily smeared him with the blood of the goat they had just eaten, which he had secretly brought with him to the room. In the morning, the hosts woke up to find their goat missing. They questioned the two friends who both denied the crime until they saw Baboon stained with blood. He was apprehended and killed. Hare apologized for his friend’s behavior, thanked his hosts and left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259954172-3SN8P50Q6KD5ADRGI6ZW/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Meanwhile, Jackal, a friend to Baboon, received word on how Hare had tricked his friend and led him to his death. Jackal decided to avenge Baboon’s death. So, Jackal visited Hare and asked for his company to his in-law’s village. In the same manner, as they were halfway through the journey, Jackal asked Hare, “Say friend Hare, there is one important favor I need to ask of you.” “Yes, friend Jackal, let me know what it is I can do.” “Do you see this herb?” said Jackal “Yes, friend. It is the herb used to cure a tummy ache.” “Well done friend,” said Jackal. “When we get to my in-law’s place, they will give us food. When I eat the food, I may suffer from a tummy ache. Friend, you will quickly run back to this exact place, to this shrub. Dig up the roots and bring them back to cure me.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259967283-TD0KC5UZ24ZVZF4N4M3N/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Hare agreed but before they continued their journey he excused himself for a bathroom break. Without Jackal noticing, Hare secretly dug up the roots of the shrub and hid them away. They continued their journey. At sunset, they reached the in-laws’ village. As usual, the visitors are welcomed, given a room and they retire for some rest. Soon, food was served. “Friend,” said Jackal, “I think that problem is already starting. My tummy is rumbling and is starting to ache. Do you remember the herb? Rush and get me some of it! Otherwise, I may not survive the night!” Immediately, Hare produced the herb and Jackal had no choice but to share the meal with Hare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259985302-K3M18B89B0T1L4R4T5GP/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - The Midnight Goat Thief Again, in the middle of the night, Jackal woke Hare up, spelled out the plan and they killed and ate a goat. Jackal secretly kept some blood on his hands to later smear on Hare while he slept. They retired and Jackal waited for Hare to fall asleep. But Hare’s eyes remained wide open. He checked again and again until the sun came up! Soon, the in-laws burst into the room looking for the midnight goat thief. Jackal was caught literally red-handed with blood! Hare had slept peacefully through the night even though his eyes never closed for a single moment! https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-value-of-a-person monthly 0.5 2025-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/c39dd018-9d86-4768-9132-46d7772333ff/The+Value+Of+A+Person_PG27_compressed.jpg African Folktales - The Value of a Person The Value of a Person (A folktale from the Democratic Republic of Congo) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/04018df1-e3bd-448d-820a-42270b68b36f/The+Value+Of+A+Person_PG2_compressed.jpg African Folktales - The Value of a Person This story is very important advice regarding the value of a person.

A big person cannot tell a little person that he does not matter because everyone is useful in their own way. A car owner cannot disrespect the mechanic for, when his car breaks down, he will look for the mechanic to fix it. Someone who has many shoes cannot make fun of the shoemaker for, on the day the shoes are damaged, he will seek the shoemaker. Each child is very important within the family because everyone plays an important role within the family. Therefore, members of the family should always have deep respect for one another. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-baby-mouse-and-the-baby-snake monthly 0.5 2020-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259464211-IMKY99VAKJBN9AX92N3I/babysnake_babymouse_compressed.jpg African Folktales - The Baby Mouse and The Baby Snake - THE BABY MOUSE AND THE BABY SNAKE Copyright © Anike Foundation Once upon a time, a mouse gave birth to a baby mouse and the snake gave birth to a serpent. The mouse prohibited its baby from playing at the brook near his house, lest he drowned and died. One day the baby mouse and the serpent met, and became friends and played together. In the evening when they finished playing, both the baby mouse and the serpent went to their mothers. When the baby mouse got home, his mother remarked that his hair was wet and spoke to him harshly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259534567-M18HXLDCJXPE8KK6D0DC/mouse_compressed.jpg African Folktales - The Baby Mouse and The Baby Snake Mother Mouse: Did you go to play at the brook that I forbade you from going? Baby Mouse: No, I did not go to the brook. Mother Mouse: Then how come you are so wet? Baby Mouse: It’s the saliva of my friend serpent that made me wet. Mother Mouse: Listen very carefully! Since the time of our ancestors, snakes have never been our friends. They still consider us their favorite food. Now, starting from today, never dare to play with a snake, it is not your friend but your enemy. Besides, if you dare to play with him, it could kill you and eat you, stay far away from him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259686835-B3ORX2FNYMS671QNOZB6/SnakeandMother.png African Folktales - The Baby Mouse and The Baby Snake When the small snake got home, his mother observed and made remarks about the hair in his little mouth. Mother Serpent: Since when did you start to eat by yourself without keeping some for me? Serpent: No, I have not eaten anything. Mother Serpent: But where did the hair in your mouth come from? Serpent: I was playing with my friend little mouse. Mother Serpent: Oh! What an idiot! You mean our favorite meal is now a friend? Do we not have them as part of our delicacy every day? Here's what you will do tomorrow when you go out to play; when he comes close to you, bind him, inject him with venom and you bring him here for us to eat. Serpent: yes mom, I understand. Tomorrow I'll bring him to you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1629259464211-IMKY99VAKJBN9AX92N3I/babysnake_babymouse_compressed.jpg African Folktales - The Baby Mouse and The Baby Snake The next morning, the serpent arrived earlier at the spot where the two friends meet to play. The serpent was smiling while he called out to his friend the young mouse with good humor. Serpent: My friend, come, come out to play! The prudent Baby mouse observed how eagerly the serpent approached him, he then remembered his mother’s advice and told the serpent: Baby mouse: I cannot come near you. We must not forget our mothers’ advice. You're not my friend, you're my enemy now, your goal is to kill me and take me to your home as food. The serpent went back home very disappointed and said to her mother: Serpent: Look, the little mouse was warned by his mother, he even refused to approach me for playing. Since that day a terrible hatred settled between the snake and the mouse. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/ananse-and-the-pot-of-wisdom monthly 0.5 2021-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618027782057-C7YKNS09X3YWVWQFW4NV/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - Ananse and the Pot of Wisdom - Ananse and the Pot of Wisdom A Tale From Ghana West Africa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618027190096-4RVSR0PVYS1U2HN2JGGQ/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - Ananse and the Pot of Wisdom Long ago, people knew very little. They knew nothing about farming, tools, or how to weave cloths. Nyame, the God of heaven had all the wisdom. He kept all the wisdom stored up in a clay pot. One day Nyame gave Ananse the spider a special gift; the pot, with all the wisdom in it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618027242930-PLRN4FMZNWNYXVD1H0JM/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - Ananse and the Pot of Wisdom Ananse was excited. Every time he looked in the clay pot, he learned something new. Greedily, he decided to keep the pot away from the world. He did not want to share with anyone else. He tied a rope around his waist so he would be able to climb a tree. Also, he tied the rope around the pot of wisdom and it hung down in front of him. He began to climb the tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618027695367-MKA20ZTR99NBRYNVJBRY/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - Ananse and the Pot of Wisdom Ananse tried tying the clay pot full of wisdom to his back, and it really was a lot easier. In no time he reached the top of the tree. But then he stopped and thought. "I'm supposed to be the one with all the wisdom, and here this little kid was smarter than me!" Ananse was so angry about this that he threw the clay pot down out of the tree. It smashed into pieces on the ground. Of course, all the wisdom got out and flew away all over the world. That is how people learned to farm, and to make clothes, and to make iron, and all the other things that people know how to do. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/no-king-as-god monthly 0.5 2021-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618875372548-PZNLAPOTOSJ0CNDRKLXN/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - No King As God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618874629806-BMJ93D16W7BRHVR1K7YD/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - The Great King There once lived a great and powerful king in an African village. Everybody feared him and came to pay obeisance to him. When an ordinary man came before the African king, he would shout in greeting: "May the king live forever!" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618874880302-8VYPWDDL2K53SNZQI052/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - No King Like God! There was one man in the village who refused to greet the king in that manner. Instead, he would say: "There is no king like God." After many visits to the king, and many repetitions of this phrase, the king grew angry and plotted to destroy the man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618874923550-9T568DUVX7DKHEUPYF3X/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - The King’s Plot The king gave the man two silver rings and told him they were his to keep, but in fact the king meant to avenge himself through them. The man, whom everybody now called No-King-as-God, took the rings, put them into a dried and empty ram's horn, and gave them to his wife to keep for him. A week later the king called No-King-as-God and sent him to a distant village, to tell the people to come and help build up the city walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618874954440-TLNPM44B6N8S8WO8E00M/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - The Unfaithful Wife As soon as No King Like God had gone, the king sent for his wife. He offered her a thousand *cowries if she would give him the rings which her husband had put in her care. The man’s wife was tempted by the great offer, so she agreed and brought the ram's horn. When the king looked inside, there were the two rings safely stored. He placed them back in the horn, and gave it to his servants with instructions to throw it far into a lake. They did so, and as the horn fell into the water a great fish swam by and swallowed it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618875065084-5TVXYKUN06UZ3IEJO6XP/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - The Worried Man Now, as No-King-as-God was returning home from his journey, he met some friends who were going fishing.

He was very disturbed and disappointed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618875113983-J2ECJ9AZ9VOD38CE3QIB/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - The Surprise Discovery They were still talking when a royal messenger came and told the man he was wanted by the king at once. As the man set off for the royal court, his son who had been cleaning the fish suddenly struck his knife on something hard and he called to his father. The father pulled out the horn, and when he opened it and looked inside he saw the rings which the king had given him for safe keeping. "Truly," he said, "there is no king like God." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618875219017-BVCKQ8UNE86VR0ZGB4GU/Slide8.JPG African Folktales - No King as God - No King Like God! When the man arrived at the palace, he greeted the king in his usual way, “No King Like God”. The king demanded the rings which he had given the man, and signaled his guards to close round him to kill him. But No-King-as-God put his hand under his robe and pulled out the horn and handed it to the king. The king opened it and took out his two silver rings. The king wondered how the man could have found the rings and said aloud, "Indeed, there is no king like God“. All his counselors shouted in approval. Then the king divided his city into two, and gave half of it to No-King-as-God to rule. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-calabash-kids monthly 0.5 2022-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069851456-TFP2OD7GK2UY2VHGZMLY/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania - The Calabash Kids A Tale From TANZANIA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617067759660-BSPYCF3ECM2R0I9A8YM9/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania Once there was a woman named Shindo, who lived in a village at the foot of a mountain. Her husband had died, and she had no children, so she was very lonely. And she was always tired too, for she had no one to help with the chores. All on her own, she cleaned the hut and yard, tended the chickens, washed her clothes in the river, carried water, cut firewood, and cooked her solitary meals. At the end of each day, Shindo looked up to heaven. “Great Almighty!” she would pray. “My work is too hard. Send me help!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616261741185-YROPYGB5NW18R1DYX8IE/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania One day, Shindo was weeding her small field by the river, where she grew vegetables and bananas and gourds. Suddenly, a noble chieftain appeared beside her. “I am a messenger from the Great Almighty,” he told the astonished woman, and he handed her some gourd seeds. “Plant these carefully. They are the answer to your prayers.” Then the chieftain vanished. Shindo wondered, “What help could I get from a handful of seeds?” Still, she planted and tended them as carefully as she could. She was amazed at how quickly they grew. In just a week, long vines trailed over the ground, and ripe gourds hung from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616261766822-R7ZVU1CB8TB6E5ZWNOHZ/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania Shindo brought the gourds home, sliced off the tops, and scooped out the pulp. Then she laid the gourds on the roof of her hut to dry. When they hardened, she could sell them at the market as calabashes, to be made into bowls and jugs. One fine gourd Shindo set by the cook fire. This one she wanted to use herself, and she hoped it would dry faster. The next morning, Shindo went off again to tend her field. But meanwhile, back in the hut, the gourds began to change. They sprouted heads, then arms, then legs. Soon, they were not gourds at all. They were children! One boy lay by the fire, where Shindo had put the fine gourd. The other children called to him from the roof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616261429085-7FLLRCPTRAW033929VUL/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania Kitete helped his brothers and sisters down from the roof. Then the children ran through the hut and yard, singing and playing. All joined in but Kitete. Drying by the fire had made the boy slow-witted. So he just sat there, smiling widely. After a while, the other children started on the chores. They quickly cleaned the hut and yard, fed the chickens, washed the clothes, carried water, cut firewood, and cooked a meal for Shindo to eat when she returned. When the work was done, Kitete helped the others climb back on the roof. Then they all turned again into gourds. That afternoon, as Shindo returned home, the other women of the village called to her. “Who were those children in your yard today?” they asked. “Where did they come from? Why were they doing your chores?” “What children? Are you all making fun of me?” said Shindo, angrily. But when she reached her hut, she was astounded. The work was done, and even her meal was ready! She could not imagine who had helped her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616261488423-2TEC1EPSSRQSDZKD0EQV/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania The next morning, Shindo pretended to leave, but she hid beside the door of the hut and peeked in. And so she saw the gourds turn into children, and heard the ones on the rooftop call out, “Ki-te-te, come help us! We’ll work for our mother. Come help us, Ki-te-te, Our favorite brother!” As the children rushed out the door, they nearly ran into Shindo. She was too astonished to speak, and so were the children. But after a moment, they went on with their playing, and then with their chores. When they were done, they started to climb back to the rooftop. “No, no!” cried Shindo. “You must not change back into gourds! You will be the children I never had, and I will love you and care for you.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616261539588-SN8O9684CFNXW6OGQSXL/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania So Shindo kept the children as her own. She was no longer lonely. And the children were so helpful, she soon became rich, with many fields of vegetables and bananas, and flocks of sheep and goats. That is, all were helpful but Kitete, who stayed by the fire with his simple-minded smile. Most of the time, Shindo didn’t mind. In fact, Kitete was really her favorite, because he was like a sweet baby. But sometimes, when she was tired or unhappy about something else, she would get annoyed at him. “Why can’t you be smart like your brothers and sisters, and work as hard as they do?” Kitete would only grin back at her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617068089662-4EDRMNKVX52I9H5YJS8D/Slide+8.jpg African Folktales - The Calabash Kids, A Tale from Tanzania One day, Shindo was out in the yard, cutting vegetables for a stew. As she carried the pot from the bright sunlight into the hut, she tripped over Kitete. She fell, and the clay pot shattered. Vegetables and water streamed everywhere. “Haven’t I told you to stay out of my way? But what can I expect? You’re not a real child at all. You’re nothing but a calabash!” The very next moment, she gave a scream. Kitete was no longer there, and in his place was a gourd. “What have I done?” cried Shindo, as the children crowded into the hut. “I didn’t mean what I said! You’re not a calabash, you’re my own darling son. Oh, children, please do something!” The children looked at each other. Then over each other they climbed, scampering up to the rooftop. When the last child had been helped up by Shindo, they called out one last time, “Ki-te-te, come help us! We’ll work for our mother. Come help us, Ki-te-te, Our favorite brother!” For a long moment, nothing happened. Then slowly, the gourd began to change. It sprouted a head, then arms, then legs. At last, it was not a gourd at all. It was—Kitete! Shindo learned her lesson. Ever after, she was very careful what she called her children. And so they gave her comfort and happiness, all the rest of her days. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-cheetah-and-the-lazy-hunter monthly 0.5 2021-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616127941535-KOXIAP572LO0D5N4PQ5L/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, A Traditional Zulu Story Long ago, a wicked and lazy hunter sat under a tree. He was hungry, but did not want to be bothered to find food. Below him on the grassy field, there were robust springbok grazing. Our friend, the hunter did nothing, he only watched the animals as they fed, wishing he could have meat without working for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616127964532-30VHB7VCDQBGAWAZ9V8K/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, A Traditional Zulu Story Suddenly he noticed the movement of a female cheetah seeking food. She singled out a springbok who had foolishly wandered away from the rest. Suddenly she gathered her long legs under her and sprang forward. With great speed, she came upon the springbok and brought it down. Startled, the rest of the herd raced away as the cheetah attacked her prey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616127983684-G022JE9DQHB9PJ79BQFX/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, A Traditional Zulu Story The hunter watched as the cheetah dragged her prize to some shade on the edge of the clearing. There, three beautiful cheetah cubs were waiting for her. The lazy hunter was filled with envy for the cubs and wished that he could have such a good hunter provide for him. Then he had a wicked idea. He decided that he would steal one of the cheetah cubs and train it to hunt for him. He decided to wait until the mother cheetah left the vicinity to make his move. He smiled to himself, feeling like a genius. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616128000714-OZAWTL92CF5YVIXFXEIS/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, A Traditional Zulu Story When the sun began to set, the cheetah hid her cubs in a bush and set off to the waterhole. The hunter quickly grabbed his spear and trotted down to the bushes where the cubs were hidden. There he found the three cubs, still too young to be frightened of him or to run away. First, he chose one, then decided upon another, and then changed his mind again. Finally he decided to steal all three cubs, thinking to himself that he would do better to keep them all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1616128015871-Q5YTPYM8XJVL23DR41MB/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The Cheetah and the Lazy Hunter, A Traditional Zulu Story Mother cheetah returned half-an-hour later only to find her cubs gone.

When he heard what the wicked hunter had done, he became very angry. The lazy hunter was not only a thief; he had broken the traditions of the tribe. Everyone knew that a hunter must use only his own strength and skill. Any other way of hunting was surely a dishonor. The old man returned to the village and told the elders what had happened. The villagers became angry. They found the lazy hunter and drove him away from the village. The old man took the three cheetah cubs back to their grateful mother. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-tortoise-the-dog-and-the-farmer monthly 0.5 2022-07-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490311391-V2BXZR2V322HZ6NSASRS/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria Once upon a time, there was a famine in the land of the animals because the dry season had extended more than usual. There was no rain in the land and every animal was looking rather thin and unhealthy because very limited food was available. However, the tortoise observed that his friend, the dog was looking very fresh and healthy. He wondered what the secret of the dog’s well-being was and decided to find out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490333646-F94VAAM6M29PJVZXN1LE/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria The next day, the tortoise decided to pay his friend, the dog a visit. On getting to his house, the tortoise said, “My good friend, you know we have been friends for a very long time, please tell me the secret of your rosy cheeks and your bulging stomach, despite the famine throughout the land. I need to know so that I do not die of hunger.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490358347-IAV6YNN4NQEI71LBTT04/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria The dog replied, “There is no secret to it my good friend, it’s all my hard work that has paid off.” The tortoise was not fooled by the dog’s reply and he decided to press further. He said,” My friend, I know that you have found a way to beat this famine, please tell me, I will keep your secret.” The dog however denied that there was any secret behind his well being. So, the tortoise thanked him and left, but he could not get the issue out of his mind so he came up with a plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490379373-PXTK2E6DLZ0UJ4FXNLYW/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria The next day, he decided to shadow the dog’s movements. He hid behind a tree and observed the dog leave home very early in the morning with a basket. He tailed him all the way to the neighboring village, making sure he was at some safe distance behind the dog all the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490398336-FJ5SSJXS8CAE6GJIZS6Q/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria The dog made his way to a farm and, after looking around to make sure that no one was watching, started harvesting yam off the farm into his basket. The tortoise then announced his presence to the dog. The dog was shocked that his friend would go to that extent to find out his secret, but there was nothing he could do. He decided to let the tortoise in on his terrible act of stealing from someone else’s farm. So off they went on the next day, and the next, and the next …. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490420097-WOXJ1IQ5A14O9LAG6BE1/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria Each time they went, the tortoise took a little more than he did the previous day. It then occurred to the dog that the more yams the tortoise added each day, the longer it took them to get back home, so he decided to caution him. “My good friend tortoise, the quantity of yam you take home each day is becoming too much. Yesterday, we left for home at 5.45pm. The farmer may catch us and then that will be the end of us.” The tortoise replied nonchalantly, “Don’t worry my friend; I’m storing enough yam at home for the rainy day. The farmer will never catch us.” ”I don’t think you should be greedy; you could get us in trouble if we harvest too much yam than we can carry easily enough to escape being caught by the farmer,” said the dog worriedly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1615490441265-OFXX5JN9VHUSW9CD5OFA/Slide8.JPG African Folktales - The Tortoise, the Dog and the Farmer: A Tale from Nigeria So the next day, at 5.30 prompt, the dog announced that he was leaving for home. But the tortoise pleaded for some more time to harvest yam. Shortly after, the dog put his basket on his head and started heading home. The tortoise noticed this and shouted after the dog. ”Dog, wait for me, wait for me, I can’t carry my basket alone, it’s too heavy, please help me,” The dog however refused to listen and made haste to avoid the farmer. The tortoise pleaded for hours, but the dog by then had long gone. The farmer arrived on his farm and found the tortoise with a basketful of his yam. He handed him over to the king’s men and the tortoise was brought to justice. When the dog saw what had happened to his friend tortoise, he was afraid, he then realized how unfair his actions towards the farmer had been. From then on, he decided that he would never take whatever did not belong to him so that he would not get himself into trouble like the tortoise. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/afiong-the-proud-princess monthly 0.5 2024-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028863658-WGUZ1VUNSNT7RWASKFIC/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess Afiong the Proud Princess https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028585332-CZHZZCRUWCDBHOWGSZR3/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess A long time ago, there lived a wealthy and affluent king in a far away kingdom. He had a very beautiful daughter of marriageable age, named Afiong. All the young men in the country wanted to marry her, but she refused all offers of marriage. Most of the rich old men asked for her hand in marriage, but she called them old and ugly. Afiong was very proud and vain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028617474-OOVHB17SC85JAAH0Z6OV/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess In spite of repeated entreaties from her parents, she refused to marry any man from her land. She vowed to marry a rich prince from a far away kingdom. Her prince would be the best-looking man in the entire world. He would be strong and perfect in every way, and capable of loving her properly. So Afiong the princess continued to disobey her parents, at which they were very much grieved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028664503-AL5T0B906871ELZ80PHB/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess One day, there was commotion within the village. “What could be happening?” people enquired. Not long after, the news got to the palace, a very fine man had been seen in the market, who was better-looking than any of the natives. Afiong rushed to the market at once, and directly she saw the most handsome man she had ever set her eyes on. She fell in love immediately, and invited him to her house. The prince was delighted, and went home with her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028686238-GKZPOSZ0CGDXP762QK64/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess On his arrival, the handsome prince was introduced by Afiong to her parents. The prince immediately asked their consent to marry their daughter. At first they refused, as they did not wish her to marry a stranger, but at last they agreed. He lived with Afiong for two days in her parents' house, and then said he wished to take his wife back to his country, which was far off. To this the princess readily agreed, as he was such a fine man, but her parents tried to persuade her not to go. However, being very headstrong, she made up her mind to go, and they started off together. It was a sad day for the king and the queen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028714757-X0JFYNUMIN71K0OZCN5O/Slide6.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess After walking for several days, Afiong and her husband crossed the border between the spirit land and the human land. Immediately they set foot in the spirit land, strange things began to happen. First of all one man came to the prince and demanded his legs, then another his head, and the next his body, and so on, until in a few minutes the prince was left with an nothing but a skull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028739689-DOBRC5C5RFB7TDW710C3/Slide7.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess The princess became terrified. She could not understand what had happened to her handsome prince. The prince then laughed at the princess and confessed that the princess was now seeing him in his natural state. He had borrowed all his body parts from the other spirits so he would look human when he went to ask for her hand in marriage. In fact, his entire body consisted of only a human skull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028770324-RIU1SF33RVGSWX33N5AF/Slide8.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess The princess wanted to return home, but the skull would not allow this, and ordered her to go with him. When they arrived at the skull's house they found his mother, who was a very old woman quite incapable of doing any work. She could only creep about. Afiong tried her best to help her, and cooked her food, and brought water and firewood for the old woman. The old creature was very grateful for these attentions, and soon became quite fond of Afiong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028795873-T8FMOL05KUIE8Z5JL0DB/Slide9.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess One day the old woman felt very sorry for Afiong, and decided to help her. She promised to send her back to her country as soon as possible, providing that she promised that in the future she would obey her parents. This Afiong readily consented to do. Then the old woman sent for the spider, who was a very clever hairdresser, and made him dress Afiong's hair in the latest fashion. She also presented her with anklets and other things on account of her kindness. She then used her supernatural power to call the breeze to gently carry Afiong to her father’s kingdom. Soon afterwards, the breeze deposited Afiong outside her home, and left her there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1618028822974-QLRM1G656QELIML04O16/Slide10.JPG African Folktales - Afiong the Proud Princess When the king and the queen saw their daughter they were very glad, as they had for some months given her up as lost. There was feasting and dancing throughout the kingdom for eight days and nights. Afterwards, the king passed a law that parents should never allow their daughters to marry strangers who came from a far country. Then the prince from a neighbouring village came to ask for Afiong’s hand in marriage and she willingly consented, and lived with him for many years, and had many children. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-dog-and-the-greedy-tortoise monthly 0.5 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069460730-W3PNZ6SACDX5F58FX682/Slide1.JPG African Folktales - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise A Tale from West Africa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069484381-AZBQV90Y6Y2WX14UZGVF/Slide2.JPG African Folktales - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise There was a famine in the animal kingdom. This famine had lasted so long that any existing source of food had been completely depleted. The animals knew they had to do something real quick or they would all die off one by one. They called a meeting where every animal was in attendance and they determined that they had to do something drastic. It was decided that the mothers would be sacrificed to ensure the continuation of the animal races. They would eat their mothers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069512901-ZC6USZED1F2ELBD1H1I2/Slide3.JPG African Folktales - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise The dog was extremely sad because he loved his mother. He thought about this action a great deal and decided he was not going to sacrifice his mother. Instead, he hid her in the sky. Everyday, he would go to a particular spot where he sang a song asking his mother to drop a rope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069561016-1TN22EC05VEBWIBITVT0/Slide4.JPG African Folktales - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise His mother would drop a rope and the dog would climb to the sky where his mother would have a feast waiting for him. One day, as the dog was singing for his mother to drop the rope, the tortoise was passing by and hid himself to observe what was going on. He heard the song dog was singing, then he saw a rope being dropped from the sky and with which the dog climbed to the sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1617069538333-N739JU3ABC895SWCMYX9/Slide5.JPG African Folktales - The Dog and the Greedy Tortoise The following day, the tortoise went to the same spot and, disguising his voice like the dog’s, he sang the song he had heard the dog sing the day before. A rope dropped from the sky and the tortoise began to climb this rope. At this same time, the dog was just approaching the same spot when he saw the tortoise climbing to the sky. The dog immediately started to sing to his mother. This time, he sang that he was not the one climbing the rope and that his mother should cut the rope. Dog’s mother got a pair of scissors and cut the rope, sending the tortoise crashing to the ground. This caused tortoise’ shell to break into several pieces. He managed to glue these pieces together, but that was how the tortoise ended up with the rough shell we know today. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-family monthly 0.5 2023-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/195ea31d-f14b-45fc-b594-6a6e42ef5f91/Panel_1.jpg African Folktales - The Family - The Family A Folktale from Northwest Cameroon, West Africa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/1646077935421-1D9IDEATPO08L4LLCXUT/Panel_1.jpg African Folktales - The Family Once upon a time, there lived a large family of many siblings who had all manner of diverse character traits humanity could ever imagine.

They had such a rapport with one another that none could come between them, whether in good or bad times; through thick and thin, they learned to stick around for each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/6e1c3387-1ac0-4311-9265-95f79501b10d/Panel_2.jpg African Folktales - The Family They lived during the colonial period, characterized by high moral and intellectual standards, and class distinction, where the rich got richer and the poor poorer. This social gap only grew wider as time went by. The peculiarity of this family was its size. They were known by a few rich folks but more widely amongst the commoners. Having a large family at the time was perceived by the upper class as a characteristic of the poor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/10a8d901-79f8-4d56-8694-d97086ccc586/Panel_3.jpg African Folktales - The Family They were considered commoners and peasant farmers, who spent more time in activities considered to be solely for the ordinary man and further characterized by high birth rates. Often these children served as work force in the farms, during times of war as soldiers, and as collateral for unpaid debts and pledges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/c21bcc29-2068-4e58-878d-4a8394962c0a/Panel_4.jpg African Folktales - The Family Sixteen children were born to John Benedict Tates and Mary A.

This they did to represent the fact that each of them was an embodiment of an important trait in the human life, whether it be a flaw or a strength, within the context of avarice, hate, materialism, ego, love or wisdom, to name a few. They didn’t leave others indifferent wherever they passed. Instead, they ensured that people took notice of them, especially those who hadn’t heard about them. The decision to change the legacy that John Benedict had worked so hard to raise was done collectively so that each person could be represented in the newly formed company, named “The Tates.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/860426f3-83cd-4756-86f4-6ec57cf907c4/Panel_8.jpg African Folktales - The Family The day usually started with the eldest son, “Dictate,” seeking to order everyone around as a means of making his position as the eldest son known and to attempt to make everyone to do things his way. Such orderings usually enraged “Irritate,” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/fb130525-a0fd-450e-8af5-bb1b2427f560/Panel_9.jpg African Folktales - The Family who got angry at the slightest instruction because he, like his brother, also liked things done his way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/ac687eea-044c-4eb2-98c3-2574edddccf0/Panel_10.jpg African Folktales - The Family The twin sisters “Devastate and Agitate” were known for their troublesome and disruptive nature by the other siblings in such a manner that one would think they wanted the ruin of all, given that they always connived together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/87cecd16-74d4-455e-9235-6327e2ac3586/Panel_11.jpg African Folktales - The Family The outcome would usually stir up a fight or attempt to make void any constructive ideas for the continuity of the family business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/6512d175-1f7a-49fa-ae75-72eeb2773176/Panel_12.jpg African Folktales - The Family The triplets “Vegetate, Hesitate and Mutate” often put on a reluctant and indifferent attitude that wasn’t quick to adapt to any changes made in the business. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/f20d90b8-e6e9-46a5-8687-e841cc1c5602/Panel_13.jpg African Folktales - The Family They were of the opinion that things should remain as their father had left them.

She considered herself the “queen” of the Benedicts, or should I say, “The Tates.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/854003da-bf9a-4bcc-9c32-2809144ebb7d/Panel_15.jpg African Folktales - The Family Imitate and Mimitate (also nick-named “Mimic”) understood just how to swap modes, going by the person who at the end of the day led the siblings as the occasion presented itself.

They were of vital importance to the family, being the third and second to the last children of the Benedicts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/16226285-d32f-40b2-bc9a-291141927a4a/Panel_18.jpg African Folktales - The Family After listening to the wisdom of the twins, Rotate knew how to turn things around for the better, reminding each of their uniqueness and participation no matter how small.

Eventually they learned after a tough time to value each other rather than magnify each other’s faults based on who didn’t do what or what whosoever did. They learned to minimize the lesser and insignificant things and to emphasize the major things together. In the end, the Benedicts, now changed to the Tates, prospered all the more and stood the test of time, emerging into the upper class of society as they now understood the following: “United we stand, divided we fall.” The story of the Tates became a legend among the Bafut people in colonial Cameroon. https://anikefoundation.org/african-folktales/the-tortoise-and-the-pot-of-porridge monthly 0.5 2024-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/81667a59-0904-4fbc-9a3b-fcf28049aa05/TnP_01colored2.jpg African Folktales - The Tortoise and the Pot of Porridge The Tortoise and the Pot of Porridge A Folktale from Western Nigeria Once upon a time, the tortoise used to follow a set of children to visit an elderly woman who lived in a remote village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e59534753bf613bfd6fed36/874ad0b7-8761-4f6c-9083-07b0df4c397c/Tnp_02colored.jpg African Folktales - The Tortoise and the Pot of Porridge One day, the children were invited by the woman to spend the night with her.
