FOLKTALE: Obaledo and the beauty-thief monster

Image
There was a time in an Igbo village when monsters torment little children and teenagers at night. The villagers tried to capture and kill these monsters but all their efforts ended up in vain. In this same village, a beautiful girl named Obaledo lived with her parents. She was very beautiful that princes from faraway lands competed to win her heart. One day, Obaledo’s parents traveled to the next village and left her yam and snail to eat. Her parents warned her not to leave the house at night because of the dangerous monsters that roam the village. They also warned her to roast the yam before the snail because the water from the snail would quench the fire. One night, when Obaledo’s parents were away, she became very hungry and made a fire with the last matchstick in the house. Obaledo roasted the snail first because of her lust for meat. The water from the snail quenched the fire and so, she couldn’t roast the yam. Still hungry, she disobeyed her parents and went out o...

YORUBA FOLKTALES: Tortoise (Ijapa) and the Elephant

Image
Long ago in the animal kingdom of  Agodo, animals lived in peace and harmony, and they could all talk like human beings. The kingdom was ruled by the lion and the animals so much loved his reign. But there was a time the lion fell sick. The sickness was so bad that  Karatu, the great herbalist that lived in the jungle, had to be consulted. Karatu said the king could only get well if he drink a concoction made from elephant body parts. In the kingdom of Agodo, the elephant was a big bully and tyrant, the animals never loved him and were also scared of him because of his size and strength. When the king’s subjects asked the animals who could capture the elephant, there was no response. The king then managed to speak, he said, “ I will give anyone who capture the elephant half of the kingdom and my beautiful daughter to marry “. Hearing this, the tortoise stepped forward and pledged to bring the elephant. The king’s subjects were happy and wished him succes...

YORUBA FOLKTALE: OLURONBI AND THE IROKO TREE

Image
This is the story of Oluronbi my grandmother told me when i was young. Oluronbi was a market woman who was not having luck with her sales. On the way to the market where she sells her wares is an iroko tree that people pray to when they want somehting. They promise to pay a price when he answers their prayers. People usually promise things like money, goats, rams, and other material things like that. Oluronbi however, had been in a slump for a while so she decided tht she needed a big gift for the tree. She went to the Iroko and said "If you give me success and let me sell all my clothes today at the market, I will give to you my beautiful daughter." The girl was there when her mother made this promise and she got upset. Her mother told her not to worry that she would not be given. she said she was only lying to get good sales. They went to the market and Oluronbi did have a great sale. she sold everything in her shop and at the end of the day, she bought a ...
