| Once upon a time, there was an honest young
man, Togoro, who made his living by washing yams. One day the daughter
of a rich inhabitant of the village came to him, and insisted that she
would marry him because she had a divine revelation in a dream. Togoro
was tired of the gold dust that was deposited in the stream every time
he washed yams. His new wife told him how valuable gold was. Subsequently,
each day, Togoro would dig up yams, wash the gold from them, and collect
it, and so they became very wealthy. |
