Download or read book African Fireside Stories written by Olaotse Obed Gabasiane and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-09-25 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This African story book is based on true happenings in the African experience involving mainly young African children. In this volume, the reader not only learns of the vibrant characters of these children, but also gets a glimpse of the culture, tradition, and way of life of Africans. The general setting for these stories is in the distant rural areas not yet tainted by the intricacies of modern life. In these places, people still rely on simple modes of transport, such as riding on donkeys or donkey carts. But these stories also reflect how resolute and determined African children can be in their attempts to be obedient to their parents, teachers, relatives, and the village elders. Parents instill the values of community upon their children. Many of the characters in this story are young believers in the Christian faith. Some of the children have demonstrated that raw faith which made sure nothing stood between them and what they believed in. The stories reflect the reality of the African adventurous life. They contain lessons of life and the values that any serious parents would desire to see developing in their children. This volume will certainly be a good read for anybody who enjoy readings about what is happening on the other side of the worldor all around it. Countless African children have enjoyed stories such as these told by the fireside by a grandmother or other elderly person as the evening wastes into the night. Enjoy!

Download or read book XHOSA FOLK & FAIRY TALES - 21 Xhosa children's stories from Nelson Mandela's homeland written by George McCall Theal and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Xhosa Folk & Fairy Tales contains 21 Xhosa folk and fairy tales for children plus a section on the Proverbs and Figurative Expressions of the Xhosa. Nelson Mandela, or Madiba, was a Xhosa and these are the stories he would have been told as a boy. Herein you will find stories like: The Story of Sikulume The Story pf Mbulukazi The Story of Long Snake The Story of Kenkebe The Story of The Wonderful Horns The Story of The Glutton The Story of The Great Chief Of The Animals; to name but a few. Like Native Americans and most other African folk and fairy stories, each story carries a moral as they were used to teach children the morals and lessons they would carry with them through life. Despite this, they are also extremely amusing and entertaining. But the tribes of South Eastern Africa were not as isolated as many would think. Long before the Europeans arrived on the coast of South East Africa, Indians and Arabians had been trading regularly along this coast, mostly for gold and slaves and often venturing far inland to obtain either or both. There was also frequent contact with, at least, the neighbouring tribes of the Bechuana, the Zulu, the Sotho, the Qwa Qwa and the Gariep. Indeed, many locally crafted items found their way North to the ancient city-state of Great Zimbabwe, some even making it as far afield as India and Arabia. In the days long before Radio, TV and the Internet, many a traditional story would have been shared around a blazing campfire and it is with this mix of Indian, Arabian and inter-tribal African cultures that stories, or fragments of stories, would have been swapped with the peoples they met. So, if one of these stories should ring with familiarity, you don’t have to look far to find the reason for it. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Xhosa folklore, folk tales, Fairy Tales, African myths, African legends, fables, childrens stories, childrens books, storyteller, Bird That Made Milk, Five Heads, Tangalimlibo, Girl, Disregard for Custom Of Ntonjane, Simbukumbukwana, Sikulume, Hlakanyana, Demane And Demazana, Runaway Children, Wonderful Feather, Ironside And His Sister, Cannibals, Wonderful Bird, Cannibal Mother, Children, Mbulu, monster, creature, Mbulukazi, Long Snake, Kenkebe, Wonderful Horns, Glutton, Great Chief, Animals, Hare, Lion, Little Jackal, Proverbs, Figurative Expressions, south east Africa, south Africa, Xosa, click language, nelson Mandela, Nguni, Swazi, Sotho, Bechuana, Qwa Qwa, India, Arabia, Gariep, Transkei, kei river,

He had no children, and only a few cattle. One day, when the sky was clear and the sun was bright, he sat down by the cattle-fold. While he was sitting there, he noticed some birds close by which were singing very joyfully. He listened for a while, and then he stood up to observe them better, They were very beautiful to look upon, and they sang differently from other birds. He tells the chief who interprets what he has seen as an omen. The chief then sets seven boys, including his own son, the task of catching the birds, saying that they should not return unless they have their bird with them. The boys set off on their task and that’s when things begin to happen. What happened to the boys you ask? Also, were the birds magic? And what of the Inabulele, which translates as “the one who kills”, the river monster that kills all who cross it’s path? Will any of the boys fall foul of this dreaded beast whilst on their quest?
