"THE PAINTERS NEPHEW" "Ali," "I'm so happy." "You passed your certificate." "You'll spend your vacation in Ouagadougou, with your uncle." "When the conversation turned to beauty..." "Mrs. Hyena and Mrs. Hare felt offended." "They made their husbands go out and find them some jewels... and clothes" "to make them more attractive." "They went off in search of jewels..." "At the first backwater, Hyena stopped." "Hare kept going." "Hyena took some clay and began making necklaces and bracelets for his wife." "Meanwhile, Hare roamed the bush." "When Hare was tired, he stopped to rest under a baobab." "I feel better." "The shade is cool." "I had a good rest." "If you tasted my leaves, you'd know they're also good and sweet." "If I could have some to sell..." "I could sort out a lot of problems." "I know you want to make your wife more attractive." "Look inside my trunk." "There's a treasure." "What do I have to do to get it?" "Go to the okra field." "You'll find the owner." "He found the little imp sitting out in the sun." "I know you were sent by the baobab." "Let's go to my place." "Don't be surprised by anything you see and your efforts will be rewarded." "Mother Imp arrived carrying some firewood." "She tried to put it down but couldn't let go." "Father Imp arrived with his axe." "He tried to put it down but couldn't let go." "Hare was polite and showed no surprise." "Mother Imp killed a chicken, threw away the meat and dished up the feathers." "Hare found it delicious." "Before you leave, my father will offer you two gourds." "Don't choose the big one." "Hare took the small gourd, thanked them and went on his way." "Gourd, keep your promise." "This is how Hare dressed up his wife." "At the well, Mrs. Hyena had a fit of jealousy and passed out." "Her husband was having a nap." "She said:" "Go and see how Mrs. Hare is decked out." "You good-for-nothing." "Take your clay jewels." "Hyena thought it over." "At dawn," "Hyena filled his mouth with peanuts and went to find Hare." "My dear uncle," "I have a toothache." "Where did you get all those treasures?" "When the rooster crows tomorrow," "I'll take you there." "Before sunrise, Hyena hit his rooster." "It's daytime." "Let's go!" "Hare was not fooled." "They left for the baobab." "He gave him all the instructions." "I heard your shadow was cool and your leaves good." "I'm in a rush and I want the treasure." "Go to the field." "You'll find the owner." "Hyena waited for the imp and started bullying him." "Give me the treasure." "Hyena found everything that happened funny." "He laughed and said:" "This is crazy." "It was time to choose a gourd." "Hyena chose the big one and went home." "I don't want to be disturbed for any reason." "Have a good trip." "See you soon." "Grandma, when I come back, I'll tell you everything I saw that was beautiful, like your stories." "Copy it out and don't make any mistakes." "Why are we stopping?" "What's that?" "I'm starting to get a sore butt." "Ali is here!" "Join me at the building site." "You can take over." " Keep up the good wovk." " Thanks." "We organized a dance." "We got a record player but only one record." "We'll have to use the radio." "Someone painted these pictures." "I don't know what they mean."
