THE MAGIC GOURD

In a village by two rivers, a kind boy named Kofi discovers a magic gourd that grants selfless wishes. With its power, he helps the hungry, brings rain, heals the sick, and settles conflicts. But when his cousin Ebo steals the gourd and makes selfish wishes, chaos spreads through the village. The people plead with Ebo to return it, and peace is restored when the gourd is back in Kofi’s hands. Through his journey, Kofi learns—and teaches others—that true power lies in kindness and selflessness. His story shows that good deeds bring harmony, while selfishness leads to trouble.
