The Happy Man "It is very easy to do," said the servant. "You must find a happy man, take off his shirt and put it on. Then his happiness will go into your body and you will be as happy as he!" "I like your idea," said the chief. He sent his soldiers all over the country to look for a happy man. They went on and on, but it was not easy to find a happy man in the chief's country. But one day the soldiers found a man in a small village who said, "I am the happiest man in the world." He was poor, but he always smiled and sang. The soldiers brought him to the chief. "At last I shall be a happy man!" said the chief and took off his shirt at once. "Bring the man in!" The door to the chief's room opened. A small, dark man with a happy smile walked in. "Come here, my friend!" said the chief. "Please take off your shirt!" The little smiling man came up to the chief. The chief looked at him and saw - what did he see? The happy man, the happiest man in the world, had no shirt!

The Money in the Pot of Butter The Money in the Pot of Butter A man had to go on a long travel. He hid his money in a pot and put butter over it. So nobody could see what was under the butter in the pot. Then he took the pot to his neighbor and said: "Please keep this pot of butter for me until I come back." He did not say anything about the money in the pot. A month passed, two months passed, but the traveler did not come back. His neighbor thought: "I am afraid the butter in that pot is bad." And he took all the butter out of the pot and saw the money there. He took the money for himself and put many small stones into the pot in place of the money. When the traveler came back, he asked his neighbor for the pot. He carried it home and took out all the butter. He wanted to take the money, but he found only many small stones under the butter. He was very angry. Then one of his friends came to see him. "You look angry, my friend! Why are you angry?" asked his friend. "Oh, I am a silly man!" And he told his friend the story about the pot of butter, the money and the small stones. "Well, I can show you how to get your money back. Let us go to the forest." And the two friends went to the forest, caught a monkey there and brought it home. "Now you go to your neighbor and say, "Please let your son come with me http://www.africawithin.com/tour/ghana/money_butter.htm (1 of 2) [5/22/2003 3:10:11 AM]
