Kintu & Nambi:  The Road Down from the Sky

Kintu, the first man on earth, has only his cow, until Nambi, daughter of Gulu, lord of the sky, comes down and chooses him. To win her, Kintu must pass Gulu's tests. And on the road home, one forgotten basket of millet will change the world.

​

Accept Gulu's tests or refuse them. Let Nambi go back for the millet, go back yourself, or keep walking. Five different endings wait at the end of the road.

Papa Legba: Keeper of the Crossroads

At the corner of every street and the edge of every village, an old man waits with a straw hat, a crooked cane and a lantern. Dossou, a young messenger of the Fon, is sent to the crossroads to listen. What he carries away will cross an ocean.

​

​Greet the old man or hurry past. Learn to hear the wind, the river and the drum. Then decide what Dossou's family carries across the sea: a song, a story or a name. Five different endings wait at the crossroads.

FOR CLASSROOMS

Tradition or reimagining?
Students can tell.

Events found in most tellings: Gulu's tests and the forgotten millet; Legba guarding the crossroads and carrying messages to the spirits.

Details that change between storytellers, such as who goes back for the millet, or whether Legba is young or old.

"What if?" branches written for each story, clearly marked so students never mistake them for tradition.
