Once upon a time, in a faraway town, there lived a remarkable young boy named Femi. Every morning, Femi would hear his older relatives singing songs that had only had alphabets: "Ajá (Dog), Bàtà (Shoes), Dùrù (Piano), Ejò (Snake), Ẹja (Fish), Fìlà (Hat), Gúgúrú (Popocorn..."
But Femi didn't understand it because it seemed strange. He asked, "Màmá, what are they singing?" His mother laughed and said, "They're singing so they can practice learning the Yoruba alphabets, my darling."
Femi was excited and asked, "Can I learn it too?" So his mother bought him a little writing tablet so he could practice.
Every day, Femi practiced one letter:
Day 1: A… Ajá (Dog)
Day 2: B… Bàtà (Shoes)
Day 3: D… Dùrù (Piano)… until he could recite the alphabets without stopping!
Soon, all the children in the village gathered around to listen to Femi sing and recite his alphabets.
They gave him a drum and sang: "Femi has learned́ A B D... Child of a Chief!"
He even taught them how to write their names in Yoruba!
The elders were amazed. "Femi is the child who first learned the Yoruba alphabets in our town!"
From that day on, Femi helped every child in the town learn to read and write in Yoruba, starting with the alphabets.
The moral of this story is, learning something new can help others learn too!
