23. “ Let’s Try This”
The three brothers and the pot of porridge
Three brothers were traveling through the
dense rain forest jungle. They had been
traveling on foot for almost a full day and
night was falling. They needed a suitable
place to rest for the night, a place where they
would be safe from prowling animals of the
night.
24. “ Let’s Try This”
They were in luck because before darkness
fell, they spotted a little isolated hut in the
distance. When they arrived at the hut, they
met a kindly old woman who invited them
in and offered them a place to spend the
night.
25. “ Let’s Try This”
The old woman offered them some porridge
which she was cooking in an iron pot over
some firewood. The brothers declined for
they were very exhausted and also did not
want to impose on this old woman who
living alone, had cooked enough porridge
only for one person
26. “ Let’s Try This”
The old woman gave them some mats
and showed them into a room where they
could lay down and have a good nights rest.
Soon, the entire hut was dark and everyone
in it was asleep.
27. “ Let’s Try This”
Sometime in the night, the youngest of the
three brothers woke up and he was very hungry. His
older brothers had declined the offer of some supper
and he had just gone along, but he was really
hungry. So he went out into the kitchen to see if any
of the porridge remained and indeed, there was
enough porridge in there for one person. It appeared
that the old woman had not eaten any of it, she must
have been keeping it for the next day.
28. “ Let’s Try This”
It wouldn?t harm anybody if he ate just a little
bit of it, and it would certainly do him a lot of good.
So he ate a little bit. Then a little bit more, and even
more until it was all gone. Realizing his folly, he
decided to cover it up and went out to pick some
stones to put in the pot. He hoped the old woman
would not notice.
29. “ Let’s Try This”
The three brothers were up early the next
morning to continue on their journey. They bade
farewell to the old woman and thanked her for her
kindness.
The old woman discovered the stones in her pot
soon after the brothers left and immediately set out
after them. Even though she was very old, she could
move as fast, or maybe even faster than any young
man since she was able to catch up with the three
young men.
30. “ Let’s Try This”
She accused them of stealing her porridge and
filling her pot with stones, at which the eldest brother
who spoke for them sincerely denied. The old woman
though was certain that one of them performed the
deed, so she challenged them to take a test. They went
to a nearby river which had a log laying across it. Each
one of them would walk across the river on the log
while singing a song which the woman taught to
them. They would each sing this song in Yoruba:
31. “ Let’s Try This”
Ti m ba je koko arugbo
If I ate the old woman?s cocoyam
Ki okun gbe mi, ki okun la mi
Let the sea take me
Ki okun gbe mi si erigidi ofun
Let the sea take me to ____ [unable to translate last part]
The first two brothers walked confidently across the river
singing the song. But the youngest brother was so scared as he
walked and sang. His step faltered several times and he
eventually fell into the river.
