Good Night, My Darlings

Good Night, My Darlings

By ‘Funmi Ogunde

This podcast is tailored around African Fables which I grew up listening to, in Lagos, Nigeria as told by my Parents at bedtime. Thankfully, I now get to share these adapted African Folktales bedtime stories with my beautiful kids before they go to bed. These traditional stories allow kids to be imaginative and at the same time teaches many values from forgiveness, patience, kindness and so much more. I want to share these stories with every child in the world at bedtime and I can’t wait to hear what lesson each episode teaches you my darlings...Good Night!

How to catch a bird 🐦 with a Song - African Folktales Story

How to catch a bird 🐦 with a Song - African Folktales Story

Did you know you could catch a bird by just singing to it? This Episode is about three boys; Adamu. Yola and Gombe who wanted white parallel lines on their fingers and were able to get them by singing to the birds. The boys initially had tried to catch the birds by throwing stones at them but only succeeded when Adamu's Grandmother taught them how to catch a bird with a song. This story teaches amongst other things that sometimes the toughest or the most difficult situation actually has one of the simplest solutions in handling or resolving it. The song is in Yoruba Language and for the most part it is still sung today in the Yoruba speaking part of Nigeria, when birds are flying by kids. Remember, this story remains a fable my darlings.
I hope you enjoyed tonight's story and I cant wait to hear what lesson this episode taught you, my darlings...Good Night!
