One afternoon, Palm tree and Cassava had an argument. Cassava said he was more important than Palm.

Palm said he was more important than Cassava.

The woman heard them from her room. She came out and asked "Why are you fighting?"

Cassava spoke first. "I am more important than Palm tree. I provide tubers for your fufu, gari, boiled cassava and cassava dough."

"My stems are used for planting. My leaves and peels feed your animals. What does Palm tree do?" asked Cassava.

Palm tree laughed, shook his head and said, "Woman, do you remember the palm soup you enjoy so much? I provide it."

"I provide the palm oil for preparing kpokpoi and the palm kernel oil for frying fish and meat. How would you prepare stews and gravies without oil?"

"In addition, my fronds provide shade for your huts. You cool your heart with my sweet, rich, foamy palm wine after your hard day's work."

"Above all, the brooms that are used to sweep the rooms and compounds come from me," concluded Palm.

"Hmmm!" sighed the woman. "Alright friends, I have heard you. I will settle this problem."

"Both of you are very important to me. The two of you together make a delicious meal, fufu and palm-nut soup!" said the woman.

The woman prepared palm nut soup with fufu from cassavas. She invited her friends to eat with her. They enjoyed the meal very much.

Since then, Cassava and Palm tree have remained good friends.
