Tales have a function of entertainment and relaxation, but they also have a function of teaching and initiation into the way of living well in society. Most often the tales speak of values, in two words of "African wisdom". Thus, dishonesty, jealousy, disrespect, indiscretion, lies and selfishness are castigated there. In short, we find there the real authority inheriting the wisdom and experience of age.
Good reading and good listening.
