The Wise Son

In Africa, in the county of Ghana, there once lived a man who had

three sons. One day, before he left on a long journey, Kofi gathered his sons

around him. He gave each child an egg. “I will be gone for a long time,” he

told his sons. “Use these eggs to help your mother.”

But as soon as Kofi left, the two older boys cooked and ate their eggs.

The youngest boy, Ebo gave his egg to his mother, who put it under a hen to

hatch.

Many months later, Kofi returned. The youngest son prepared a feast

to welcome him back-for he had many chickens and many eggs.
