There was a green valley surrounded by tall trees and shining rivers.

In that valley, there was a peaceful community called Apyiwoyi. It was quiet and filled with love and laughter.

Every morning, the villagers woke up early. Women took their farm products to the market.

Farmers walked to their farms and children walked to school.

Hunters walked to the forest with their traps and hunting dogs.

What made Apyiwoyi beautiful was not only its green fields and high mountains. It was its people.

They were loving, kind and hospitable to visitors just like Clinton, the young tourist boy.

Clinton loved adventure and had travelled to Apyiwoyi with his parents.

Clinton loved to explore and experience different cultures and traditions.

When he arrived in Apyiwoyi, the first thing he noticed, was the market square. Women and men were buying and selling.

It was beautiful and different from what happened in his home country.

Clinton saw a group of elderly men sitting under a tree. He asked someone, "Who are these men?"

The person answered, "They are elders of the community. They sit like this to discuss issues of our community."

Clinton spent days walking in the village. He observed everything, asked questions and made new friends.

But, there was something he noticed that he couldn't explain. Women in this community did not carry their water, farm products or firewood on their head.

In other villages where Clinton had been to, women carried heavy loads on their head to ease the stress.

In Apyiwoyi, it was different. He knew that he needed someone to explain.

He went to the king's palace to seek answers to his many questions.

The king sent for his elders. When they came, they warmly welcomed Clinton, the young tourist.

Then they sat down to listen to the questions he had for them.

Clinton thanked the king and the elders and proceeded with his questions.

He began, "I have noticed that women and men do not carry heavy loads on their head, instead they carry them on their shoulder. I have not seen this anywhere else."

The king and the elders smiled.

The king replied, "We, the people of Apyiwoyi, are a special people. We see the head as the king of the body.

The way you treat the head determines how the body functions. The head also houses the brain. It is the warehouse of knowledge, so we respect it."

An elder also added, "We do not stress our head that is why we have the most brilliant children and youth.

If you honour your body, it will also honour you."

Clinton left, thinking about what the king and the elders had told him.
