An excerpt from the book
THE ORPHAN AND THE WICKED VILLAGERS
Once upon a time, in a village, there was a rich man, very rich. Who owned many herds of cows, goats and sheep. He had only one child, a boy, still very young, whose mother had died after giving birth to him!
When the old man felt his own death coming, he worried: who was going to advise his son so that he would not be devoured by the man-eating worms, the man-eating worms that migrated between the two great rivers where every day he went to water his flocks? The villagers weren’t going to do it. On the contrary, they were already jubilant at the idea of seeing their young die the next day, devoured by man-eating worms. They were going to share his herds!
He was going to entrust his boy to a tree, an old caïlcédrat:
– I’m going to die, he said. I entrust my son to you so that you can advise him.
Then he died.
In the morning, before bringing his herds to pasture, the young boy came to sing to the tree:
– My father entrusted me to you, great caïlcédrat. Should I bring my animals to Toubalitou? Or should I bring them to Diabalidia?
The tree shook its heavy branches laden with leaves three times and let out:
– Go to Toubalitou. Don’t go to Diabalidia. Man-eating worms will be in Diabalidia today!
He brought his animals to Toubalitou and towards evening returned safe and sound to the village.
The villagers were astonished and furious. Someone had to advise the boy so he wouldn’t get eaten by the worms! Who were they going to find? It was a hunter who took care of it and brought them the secret. They felled the tree, burned it and threw the ashes into the river.
