Two Brothers

Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning. Akomi, the elder
brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can make laws to collect more money from the people. We
will become very rich."

They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make good laws. All your
subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know everything."

King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody knows everything. For example, do you know how many stars
there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"

Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say the wrong thing. My
brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite, my answer will be right." Ombah
then said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know nothing."

King Aruya said, "That is also a lie. Nobody knows nothing, truly! Everybody knows at least something. For example,
you know your father's name, don't you? Guards! Throw him into the river of crocodiles, too!"

Ant and Dove

An ant went to the river to get a drink. The water rushed so fast that he was washed off from the bank into the river.
"I shall drown" he cried. "Help! Help! Help!", but his voice was so tiny that it couldn't be heard.
A dove was sitting on the tree hanging over the water. She saw the ant struggling and quickly nipped off a leaf and
let it fall into the water. The ant climbed upon it and floated down the river until the leaf was washed upon the bank
of the river.
The ant called out in its tiny voice. 'Thank you, kind dove, you have saved my life", but of course the dove couldn't
hear him.
Several days afterward, the dove was again sitting on the tree, a hunter crept carefully up to the tree. His gun was
pointed at the dove and he was about to shoot, when he was bitten in the leg by an ant.
