They usually began with, 'story, story', with the usual response of 'time, time'. Followed with, 'once upon a time' and 'time time'.
Now, lets begin the telling those stories. Please, hen, I am coming. I need to confirm that you are there first.

Still waiting

Waiting

Lol

Ok, sorry for keeping you waiting.

I will be sharing the story of Ijapa (Mr Tortoise).
One day, he went to meet a very wise man in the land. And told him that he was wiser than any living animal. The man was impressed to see an animal talk in human language, and to claim to be very wise.
Ijapa asked the man to test his wisdom to confirm that he was telling the truth. The man thought for a while and told him to come back the following day with an empty gourd.
All true the night, he thought about what task, the man would give him. Later, when he could not arrive at a breakthrough, he summoned the courage to sleep.
While sleeping, he dreamt that he was involved in an eating competition, with Obo (Mr Monkey), which he lost.
'No, it can't be true.' he consoled himself.
The following day, he sluggishly made his way to the wise man's house. There he was told to climb a coconut tree in the man's house, with the gourd tied to his neck.
Yes, he did, and fell down, while trying.
He tried again, but again he fell.
He asked for another tree....

... The man obliged. But again, he fell.
He went home confused. However, he promised the man to try again next time, which the man refused. He doesn't give a second chance.

While crying at his defeat, at home. Obo, his friend visited him. He asked why he was crying, which question he answered.
Obo implored him to give it a trial in his presence. Which he did like he did at the wise man's house. Obo started to laugh.
'Wisest animal on earth', he giggled.
He took the gourd from him, and instead of flacing it in front of his chest, like Ijapa did, he placed it at is back, and climb the tree successfully.
Ijapa did the same and was able to climb successfully.
That is the end of my story.
