Once upon a time, there was a hunter whose name was Ayodele.
He lived in a village called Ireti-Aye. The villagers hated him because he was wicked and selfish. He always wanted to have everything to himself.
On one fateful day, Ayodele went to his farm to work and harvest, so he met Akanbi his neighbour who was harvesting his yam for the new yam festival.
The yam was so much and heavy to the extent that he couldn’t carry them. So, he started running back to the village to get help. When he almost got to the village, he met Ayodele. Ayodele asked him why he was running to the village. He said he couldn’t carry his harvested yams so he wanted to go get help.
