EP 138: Nigeria- The Voices of Birds, Three Magicians, Isokun and the Baby (M.I. Ogumefu 1929)
In the first story, a magician is off on a walk in the woods. He came to a place where there were a lot of dull brown birds with beautiful voices. He asked the birds if they would be up for a bit of swapping: their beautiful voices for some lovely feathers.
In the second story, we learn about the origin of a beautiful flowing river and the betrayal that lead to the stagnant one next to it. And in the third story, we hear the sad tale of Isokun, who just wants a baby of her own.
