Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lion or the Tortoise; who is the real King of the jungle.The Tortoise was known in the Animal Kingdom for being cunning and crafty. Nobody believed he possessed more dangerous traits until he lured his trusting folks to painful deaths with promises of a sumptuous dinner. After that the forests never became the same again.Surprisingly --The Ghosts came callingThe folks of Ulakwo believed that the stories of ghosts living among men were mere tales by moonlight until one came to seek for the hand of one of their daughters in marriage. It was a nightmare the small clan prayed would never befall them again.And then--The Cunning Old Fellow takes the PodiumNo story in the animal Kingdom is ever complete unless Tortoise is involved. He is crafty, cunning, mean and dubious. Here is vintage Mr. Toi-Toi; as he is nicknamed, at his best- pranks and scams. It's a story that will put you on edge from the first page to the lastTHE undisputed king of the animal kingdom was the Lion. He had ruled the community with great strength and gusto. For over half a century he had sustained his dominion of the animal world with an iron fist that the younger generation had known practically no other king all their lives. But in the beginning it hadn't been easy for him getting the exulted stool of kingship. Today he was the eyes of the gods and the ancestors. The Lion King had many challengers to the throne who were equally formidable and even more popular than him. The first was the leopard whose family had always been kings and whose father was ruling until he died recently on the seats. Naturally as the first son, he was expected to take over unopposed, but this was not to be. The audacious Lion threw his hat into the ring and declared that his fore fathers had also been kings and that it was time to take over what had been denied his lineage for a long time. And so ensued a struggle for power that created a lot of animosity in the animal kingdom. Everyone knew it for a certainty that the Lion was a complete usurper to the thrown but who would risk his neck to look the fiery Lion in the face and tell him the truth. Who knows, the stupid fellow might end up as the dinner of the day for his effrontery. A serious tussle became inevitable and before one knew it the whole animal kingdom had been dragged into the fray and forced to take sides. In the mist of all these were two other animals, tough and strong, who never would see eye to eye with the Lion. Because of the great power of the Lion, most animals were afraid of him knowing he could devour them whenever it took his fancy. He was able to subdue all except the Elephant and the Hippopotamus. The Lion had always dreamed of the time he would slaughter both animals, but their great power and size made it a very daunting task. This both worried and angered the great Lion to no end. He therefore hated the Elephant and his crony, the Hippopotamus with all the venom he could muster, a favor the two animals gladly returned. It was therefore not surprising when the two joined the contest for the kingship, firstly to spite their mutual enemy the Lion; than for a call to duty. The lesser animals were forced to queue up behind their respective leaders and a great slaughter never witnessed before in the animal world took place. By the time tempers had cooled down, the impetuous Hippopotamus and his supporters had been subdued and forced to move into the big seas as their new habitat instead of on land they had originally lived. The Elephant had fewer supporters because he was not very fluent in his speeches. He couldn't intimidate many animals enough into joining his camp. Starring defeat in the face, he ate the apple pie and took his men deeper into the thick forest where he's lived up till today. The Leopard's story was a bit pitiable. He was completely defeated and his camps run over by the forces of the rampaging Lion.

Africa boasts a particularly rich oral tradition, in which the griot — village historian — preserved and passed along cultural beliefs and experiences from one generation to the next. This collection of 30 timeless fables comes from the storytellers of Nigeria, whose memorable narratives tell of promises kept and broken, virtue rewarded, and treachery punished. Ajapa the Tortoise — a trickster, or animal with human qualities — makes frequent appearances among the colorful cast of talking animals. In "Tortoise Goes Wooing," he learns a valuable lesson in friendship and sharing. Ajapa's further adventures describe how, among other things, he became a chief, acquired all of the world's wisdom, saved the king, tricked the lion, and came to be bald. Recounted in simple but evocative language, these ancient tales continue to enchant readers and listeners of all ages.
