Yoruba Folktales tell the timeless tales and stories from the southwest region of Nigeria which embraces the values, the culture, and the wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation
(http://www.allfolktales.com/index.php)A long time ago in the village of Ipetumodu, there lived a poor woman. This woman was so poor that she did not have any soup for her eba. The eba is a starchy paste made from cassava flour and it is rather unappetizing to eat all by itself. Across the street from this poor woman lived another woman who cooked egusi soup every day.
One day, as the poor woman was sitting down to her only meal for the entire day, a small bowl of eba, the aroma from her neighbor's cooking wafted down through her window.
Perhaps she will be kind enough to let me have a little soup for my eba? she thought. So she took her bowl of eba and headed over to her neighbor who was busy stirring a big pot of egusi soup.

Tortoise and the Magic Igbako Part 2
The water goddess gave Tortoise a magic Igbako and warned him not to reveal the magic of the Igbako to anyone outside his immediate family.
The Tortoise family feasted for the entire day on the food that appeared. They ate until they could eat no more. By this time, Tortoise was thinking of the fame the igbako could bring him, he needed to show off his magic to the entire animal kingdom.
So Tortoise went to the palace and told the Oba he had a solution to the famine. He convinced the Oba to send for every animal in the forest and soon, all the animals were assembled at the Oba's palace.
What did the tortoise do?

Tortoise and the Magic Igbako
Back in the days when Tortoise could talk and the animals ruled the forest, famines were frequent and those animals who could not survive the drought would wither and die. There was one such period when the tortoise had become lean.
He had survived as long as he could on his wit but he soon began to suffer like all the other animals as every available source of food disappeared.
The water goddess gave Tortoise a magic Igbako and warned him not to reveal the magic of the Igbako to anyone outside his immediate family.
But what did the tortoise do?
