Olurombi And The Iroko Tree
Long ago in a far away land, lived a woman called Olurombi. Olurombi had no children and longed to have a child to love, to hold, to talk to and care for. She decided to go to the great Iroko to ask for a child. She set off to see Iroko along with so many other people who wanted their wishes granted for one thing or the other. “O powerful Iroko, please bless my herd this year and I promise to give you my best cow”, pledged a farmer. “Please great Iroko, bless my household this year and I will give you my fattest ram”, promised a woman. Olurombi stepped forward and cried, “O powerful Iroko, please grant me a child and I will give this child back to you.” Not very long afterward, Olurombi gave birth to a beautiful baby. The baby was so beautiful that people came from far and near to see it. Iroko came to collect the baby promised to him. Olurombi begged and begged but Iroko paid no attention to what she said. “You promised me this baby and you must keep your promise.” Iroko took the beautiful baby away but not without a great struggle from Olurombi. Iroko overpowered Olurombi. Olurombi wept and wept but it was all too late. The people around began to sing a dirge as they watched Iroko carry Olurombi's child away never to be seen again.

She set off to see Iroko along with so many other people who wanted their wishes granted for one thing or the other.

“O powerful Iroko, please bless my herd this year and I promise to give you my best cow”, pledged a farmer.

“Please great Iroko, bless my household this year and I will give you my fattest ram”, promised a woman.

Olurombi stepped forward and cried, “O powerful Iroko, please grant me a child and I will give this child back to you.”

Not very long afterward, Olurombi gave birth to a beautiful baby. The baby was so beautiful that people came from far and near to see it. Iroko came to collect the baby promised to him. Olurombi begged and begged but Iroko paid no attention to what she said. “You promised me this baby and you must keep your promise.” Iroko took the beautiful baby away but not without a great struggle from Olurombi. Iroko overpowered Olurombi. Olurombi wept and wept but it was all too late.

The people around began to sing a dirge as they watched Iroko carry Olurombi's child away never to be seen again.

Song
Everyone pledged a goat, a goat, a goat, Everyone pledged a lamb, a lamb, a lamb, Olurombi pledged her only child, Fair as the golden sun Olurombi at war, Iroko at war.

The Tortoise & The Dog
Long ago the tortoise and the dog were bosom friends. They did everything together. Everything went well until there was a famine. The land became dry and there was no food. Everyone became lean and haggard from hunger. People and animals had to ration the little food there was. Despite the difficult, hard times, everyone went about his or her daily life. Soon everyone noticed that dog was looking fresh and plump. No sign of the bad times showed on him. They all asked him what was going on and how he was keeping so well while everyone else looked hungry. He would give a false answer each time. Sometimes he would say he had saved up and did not use up his ration as quickly as others. Other times he would say he is not a heavy eater. He just gave lots of reasons that were not the truth. Tortoise vouched to get the truth out of dog. One day dog was coming home from the fields when tortoise approached him. 'Hello, my dear friend dog. Don't you look fabulous? How long now have we been friends? 'Since we were babies,' dog replied. We should not keep secrets from each other you know?', said tortoise. "Tell me my good friend, how do you manage to remain so fresh and plump when the rest of us are looking so lean and haggard?' Dog would not reveal the secret. But tortoise would not take no for an answer. After probing for so long, dog gave in to tortoise and told him about the farm far away in the middle of the forest where he dug yam tubers from the ground. It did not take long before tortoise persuaded dog to take him along too. He promised to be good and would not cause any trouble. In the middle of the night, they set off. Dog brought a small basket to put his yam in. Tortoise on the other hand brought a huge basket to fill up with farm crops for him and his family. It was too late to go back now or they will be caught. The darkness hid them as they crept to the farm dog had discovered. Dog took only one yam tuber but tortoise took three and some other vegetables. It was nearly morning and they had to go back. Dog carried his basket easily but tortoise's basket was too heavy for him to carry. Dog was a yard ahead of him and tortoise was frightened so he started to sing: Dog, stop and help me, Dog, stop and help me. If you don't stop and help me, I will shout and the farmer will hear us. He will hear us and come and get us. He will come and get us and then detain us. So dog you better stop and help me. So dog you better stop and help me. Poor dog had no choice but to stop so that tortoise would be quiet at least. He came to help tortoise and as he was re-arranging the yam tubers, the farmer came running because he heard tortoise's song. Tortoise crept into the bushes while poor dog was caught. Tortoise ran home and covered himself with oil pretending to be ill. He tucked two fresh eggs in his mouth. Poor dog told the farmer the whole story but the farmer did not believe him. Dog took him to tortoise's house. When they got in, tortoise was found shivering in his bed, his body glistening like someone sweating and suffering from a high fever. The farmer still did not believe that the tortoise was involved. He asked tortoise if this was true, tortoise could not answer clearly and mumbled because of the eggs in his mouth. Dog was outraged and gave tortoise a slap across the face. This reaction made the first egg crack and it looked as if tortoise was being sick. He gave him another slap and the other egg cracked. Dog could not prove anything. The farmer then decreed. "For all you stole from me, you will now serve me on the farm and be my sheep dog. You will work hard on the farm as a punishment.' And that is why we have sheep dogs on farms today. They are paying for what the first dog did so long ago. What about tortoise I hear you say? He got away? I am afraid he did this time, after all tortoise is a very cunning and crafty creature. I think he paid dog a visit and apologised. Do you think dog forgave him?
