I think it is pretty cool the stories that the mothers and children tell at bed time. They are just stories but it is interesting how they explain, in an unrealistic way, how and why things are, like why the tortoise is not smooth. Some of the stories even give advice about things. One story that I have heard was how we got the stars and night time. It was very interesting but they're just children's stories. I like the way Ekwefi and Ezinma tell the stories, in turns. I wonder though, if they just make them up off the top of their heads at bed time, or were the stories made up by someone else and they are just retelling them? But I also find it interesting that all these stories are explained with animals. None of them have humans in them but the animals take on some human characteristics, like talking.
