The Tortoise and the Elephant

Long ago in the animal kingdom of Agodo, animals lived in peace and harmony, and they could all talk like human beings. The kingdom was ruled by the lion and the animals so much loved his reign. But there was a time the lion fell sick. The sickness was so malignant that Kagunda, the great herbalist that lived in the jungle, had to be consulted. Kagunda said the king could only get well if he drink a concoction made of elephant body parts.

Why the sun and moon live in the sky

Once upon a very long time, sun and water were very close friends and both lived on the earth. Sun used to visit water very often but water never visited sun. So, one day, the curious sun asked water why he had never visited him in his house, and water replied, "If I visit you my friend, I will drive you out of your house because I go everywhere with my large family". Sun insisted that water should visit him with his large family, and water therefore warned sun to build a very large compound that can accommodate him and his enormous family.
