Once upon a time, in the heart of a
forest in West Africa, was a small village called Guijame. In
Guijame, life was quiet and people lived happy. Every day, moms sang
a lullaby to their newborns while breastfeeding them. Everything was
an excuse to be joyful in this village.
But one day, moms stopped singing,
babies were mirrored to cry. Indeed, without
anyone knowing why, all moms noticed suddenly that, their breasts gave no more milk. Quickly, they went
all to see
Anin the healer. The old lady, who knew all the secrets
of nature to heal, gave them a peanut-based potion. But several days
later, mothers returned to the healer, because they still had no
breast milk. Surprised, Anin prepared to them another concoction that
also proved ineffective. During many days, the old lady made other potions but none of
them was effective. The village fell into great sadness never known.
From planet Cresmos, somewhere in the
middle of the galaxy, Super Afro heard the distress of Guijame's
people. Shaking her voluminous curly mane, she decided to come and
help them.
No sooner thought than done, she used
her U-Vega machine, and within seconds she teleported herself in the
small village of Guijame. Super Afro went to meet the chief of
Guijame, the wise Nanga Nanga. She explained the reasons for her
presence. The wise was glad of her coming, but he did not hide his little hope about the outcome of the investigation she was
conducting.
Wasting no time, Super Afro went
interviewing mothers to discover, whether changes in their daily lives
could have lead to the disappearance of breast milk. But having
listened to them, she saw no major changes which could explain such a
phenomenon.
Not discouraged, Super Afro decided to
visit the village. Walking in the street, suddenly she felt her hair
curling, this is a sign that something strange was going on. Pausing,
she noticed a surprising sound. Indeed, amid the cries of babies
abounded houses, Super Afro distinguished a frail voice singing
sarcastically "Yapi yapa yapo yapabol".
Super Afro walked to the courtyard
where the song came from. She found a woman of a certain age grinding
corn in an old mortar. The woman was beautiful but her face was
closed and hard. Standing, she sang a bitter sneer on her lips, by
falling heavily on corn the pestle in the mortar. Super Afro's hair started curling again when the woman grabbed a big
portion of crushed corn to lie down in the sand. Super Afro three
times blinked to activate her extended spectrum vision. At this
moment, she discovered with astonishment a white liquid in place of
crushed corn. This white liquid was actually breast milk !
Caught in the act, the old woman, who
was called Ménoda, confessed to Super Afro. She explained that, with
mystical powers, she put a curse on the breast-feeding women. Whenever
she grinded the corn (which was actually the breasts of mothers) she
captured their breast milk for disposal.
"Why have you done this?"
Super Afro asked. "My sons went to live in another area and my
husband died recently." Living alone, Ménoda had become a
bitter old woman. Because she could not stand the other
villagers happyness, she had decided to destroy breast milk ; so
everyone will be unhappy like her.
Super Afro led her to the chief Nanga
Nanga. Ménoda confessed again and apologized for having hurt them.
Villagers took pity on the old lady and forgave her. They decided to
visit her often so that she does not feel alone anymore.
Here's how Super Afro solved the
mystery of breast milk. Moms could again breastfeed their newborns,
babies stopped crying and happiness returns to Guijame.
