Is the Rabbit really cleverer than the Monkey? What is the moral of the story? Like other parts of the world, Mozambique has a rich oral literature of animal fables.

Like other parts of the world, Mozambique has a rich oral literature of animal fables. Grandmothers still tell them to children, and the children respond in a chorus with the magical word "Karingana!"It would be sad if this heritage disappeared entirely in the face of modernization, so teachers are being encouraged to record it, in English and Portuguese, and hopefully later in its original Bantu languages as well. There is no reason why school children should not use materials from their own culture as they learn to read, thus bridging the gap between home and school. I have seen how students come to life and participate when traditional stories are welcomed into the classroom, so this book ends with some suggestions for ways to do this.

Standing still and stark as trees themselves were dark figures—more humans. Not warped and insane like himself and the others around him, but calm and straight-limbed and quiet humans.Seeing them strengthened his memory of himself. He had been like them once, he was sure. An image, vague as a fleeting dream, hovered in the back of his mind—it was himself, standing tall, running his fingers through his soft, dark hair.He brought his now blood-clotted hand up to his head. His fingers felt distant and numb, but he could sense the muddy clots and sharp bits of twigs in his hair now.As he stood in this moment of sheer confusion, a twinge of mysterious emotion tweaked his heart as one of the gray-clad figures suddenly lifted her helmet. For a brief second, the man glimpsed her face before she turned and started vomiting to the side. Her creamy skin and hazel bolts of eyes recalled another pair of beautiful eyes he had seen recently.The word Miranda jolted into the forefront of his brain and this time it brought back not a slow trickle of memories, but a vivid flash that lit his entire being like a burning bolt of electricity…Download and discover why readers are raving about Elena Snowfield.Scroll up and get the book now!

The story of the youth Wing, and his self-chosen quest to learn the secrets of khnom lach faa and take them back triumphantly to his people. Little did he know what would befall him and what he would actually find...what terrible secrets lay behind the entrance to the Paradise Gate.Now the youth realised what was happening.He leapt quickly away from the swaying path, well away from where the arthropod was sure to appear. Wing jumped left ignoring his pain, and ran further up the mountain. The roots of the tree behind him ripped out into the rain-soaked air - the jaws of the huge worm firmly clamped upon them as the creature struggled to get away, its small undulating legs propelling it out into the air at incredible speed. Behind it came the flood of hot volcanic rock which had caused it to flee its underground world in terror. The creature screamed in pain - the sound burning deep into Wing's head, and he thrust his palms over his ears as he hit the ground hard behind a large granite outcrop. The youth took a deep breath and peered out to see the creature's segmented body burning fiercely - pushed from the newly created vent by the hot rocks and gases which rose up from beneath the ground. The worm disappeared down the mountainside and screamed in agony as it fell through the forest over a sheer precipice, flattening everything in its path with the mighty tree which was now firmly trapped in its jaws!This then is the story of the youth Wing, and his self-chosen quest to learn the secrets of khnom lach faa and take them back triumphantly to his people. Little did he know what would befall him and what he would actually find...what terrible secrets lay behind the entrance to the Paradise Gate. The author, Graham Seaman, lives in Liverpool, UK. He is married to Sandra and has three grown-up children - Jenna, Peter and Becky. Graham also has two beautiful grand-daughters, Paige & Phoebe.... He is known to them as Grampy and likes it very much thank you! :-)
