Super Afro and the Mystery of breast milk - Story time

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.
