Episode How Stories Came to People
Our story today is a Ghanaian folktale titled How Stories Came to People. Imagine that. No folktales. No animal adventures. No ‘long long ago.’ Just silence.
But high up in the sky, the Sky God had locked all the stories in a wooden box! And people were very sad… Because stories make us laugh, think, dream, and sometimes behave ourselves.
So who dared to climb to the sky to ask for stories? Do you want to find out? Listen keenly and don’t forget to answer fun questions that pop up along the way. Have fun!
This story is published by the African Storybook Initiative. You can find an openly licensed PDF version of the book here.
