Two Stories from Africa
Two charming stories from Nigeria. The first is a funny fable about a Spider, a Hippo and an Elephant. The second is about a wise man who rides on a Hyena on the way back from Mecca. Umar Isa Dandago links up with us from Nigeria to introduce the story and play the part of the tricky spider. He also tells us about the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which is taking place now and features in the second story.
