The fables in this book come from the oral tradition of the Bakongo people in Central Africa.
For generations these stories were told. Elders conveyed them from memory, passing them from one voice to another.
They were told in villages, under trees, by rivers, and with the whole community. They were more than entertainment-they served as lessons.
These stories show a way of thinking that esteems intelligence over force, patience over rushing, and truth over lies. They teach that even the slightest can beat the strongest. Every action has consequences.
