The Yam and the Egg

A Wolof Wisdom Tale for Curious Children

When Yama asks why a yam and an egg are cooking together in the same pot, her grandmother answers with a Wolof saying that takes Yama the rest of the day to understand. A market-day tale of elder wisdom, steam rising from a clay pot, and how the same situation changes each of us differently.
