the yam Quotes

“Anancy walked on, carrying the yam. He came to a little open shed where a blacksmith was beating a piece of iron. As he worked the blacksmith ate charcoal with his sweat all over it.”

“Anancy held up the yam to the blacksmith. ‘Oh, please don’t eat charcoal. Don’t. Take this yam. Take it, roast it, and eat it instead. The blacksmith took the yam. He picked a short-handled hoe and gave it to Anancy.”
