Nigerian Folk Stories by Elphinstone Dayrell

Mother and son are lighting and thunder, Kind banishes them to the sky where the son still causes havoc. Ama, for no reason at all, starts a war between two brothers, is found out, then flogged. Then law is passed for no pet cocks. Never find a hippo on land because the turtle was able to figure out his name, and so the hippo and his wives were ashamed. Dogs cannot be trusted with messages and dead people are buried because the dog ate the bones of the dead people. King marries hi daughter and Adit.
