The Two Strangers In the morning the strangers came to the chief to say goodbye and to thank him for everything. The chief said goodbye to them and gave them a small bag of money. "I give this money to both of you. We had a good time with you: we danced and sang well. Thank you very much." The strangers left the village, but on the road they began to quarrel. "How shall we divide the money?" said one of them. "I must have the bigger part. Why did you sing that song last night? Because I snored. So I must have the bigger part of the money." And the other man said, "Yes, that is so. But the people could have killed you, because you snored. My song saved your life. You must only thank me and give me the bigger part of the money." They quarreled and quarreled and could not decide anything. Can you?

Three Hairs of a Lion Three Hairs of a Lion Segab's mother died when he was eleven years old. His father married another woman, Bizunesh by name. Segab did not like Bizunesh. But Bizunesh began to love the boy very much and tried to be a good mother to him. She always made good breakfasts, dinners, and suppers, but he did not eat them. She bought him many good clothes, but he did not look at them. She gave him new shoes, but he went to the river and threw the shoes into the water. When she spoke to him, he always ran away. One day the poor woman said to Segab, "I always wanted to have a son, and now I have you, Segab. I love you very much, my dear boy!" But Segab said angrily, "I am not your son, and you are not my mother. My mother is dead. I do not love you. I will never love you." Bizunesh was very sorry and cried all night. In the morning she decided to go to a wise old man. She told him about Segab who did not love her. The old man said, "I can help you. But first you must bring me three hairs of a lion." "But how can I do this? The lion will kill me," Bizunesh said. "I cannot answer your question. I need three hairs of a lion. Try to get them." So Bizunesh went out to try to get the hairs. She went far, far away from her house and came to a place where a lion lived. The lion was very big and roared angrily. He was hungry. Bizunesh was afraid of him and ran away quickly. But the next day she came back with some meat for the lion. She put the meat not far from him and ran away. The lion saw the meat and went to it. He ate it all very quickly. http://www.africawithin.com/tour/ghana/three_hairs.htm (1 of 2) [5/22/2003 3:10:07 AM]
