AFAN SANA AND THE CHICKEN. A STORY
One fine day, as the ladies were cooking and the children playing, a hungry compound head called Afan Sana was hungrily waiting for his lunch. I will conveniently gave a Sanyang surname to Afan Sana for easy narration. let's start again, Afan Sana sanyany's lunch was ready and his missus placed the warn super kanja in front of the starving Afan.
The ladies went to eat with the kids as it is the custom. Afan Sana Sanyang couldn't wait for his elder children. He started eating briskly. At the material time, a lonely chicken was pecking right in front of Afan Sana. The chicken was looking at the way Afan Sana Sanyang was eating. The Sanyang kunda man was so hungry ,he was picking up all droplet foods from the mat. I mean the chicken was shocked. In the villages chicken's eat from drop down foods and maize that fell on the floor during pounding. This time the afan left no food on the floor. He picked them all. The respectful and observant chicken was still waiting to see whether there will be any grumbs and left overs but to its horror, the Sanyang old man clean up the whole bowl. Nothing for the watching chicken. Desperate times requires desperate measures.
The chicken now turn to plan B. It observe Afan Sana cleverly and found out that the Afan beards has some food particles on it. fooo the chicken went, trying to eat the particle on the afan's beard. Suddenly the not so brave Afan sana panics and fell on the floor. The chicken then jumped and landed on greedy Afan Sana's chest. It peck on the rice particles until they are finished. People started screaming, sisaw yeh afan sana borin (the chicken has rassle afan sana to the floor) . They enquire how can a chicken rassle afan sana to the ground? the elders concluded that ,nin yaa jeeh sisaw yeh afan sana borin, kuwolii nin nkenya lemou (if you see a chicken can rassle afan sana to the ground ,things have some ways to to them). please the sanyang kunda folks, leave the droplet food for the chickens next time ok.

| You are so funny santa. I have heard the saying you quoted but did not know the meaning I guess one has to be deep in the language of mandeng to grasp some meanings of the proverbs. Ni yajeh hoji koto hoojoo hoojita koleh ya hoojindi ba, fo wonteh ? Afang sana was definitely a gourmand and so deserved the treat he got from the chicken.Thanks for the piece though you caught the Sanyangs on a limb I hope they will retaliate in kind huh. |

indeed kaaniba. you are a very good mandingo speaker. may be better than me. as sori kandia would said, kumma maan deeya ,bari kumma baliya yee kasiletee (speech is not is an easy thing but not to speak when necessary is very bad) what sori kandia means is that ,it is easy to offend when makinga a speech but not to comment when you know better is dangerous and criminal.
