Achsah (Part 1)

“Mama tell us the story again”,
Rachel screamed. At least thirty children were gathered round the fire, waiting
for mama to begin. There are not many story tellers in town and it is not unusual
for children from neighbouring tents to gather in our family compound every
time the weather permits. Their favourite story is ‘the story’. The children
never get tired of hearing it over and over again, and I love the story also.
Mama is a great story teller and ‘the story’ is her favourite. I watched as she
dusted her skirts, picked Naam our youngest baby off the floor, and sat on the
stool, ready to begin her story.
