However, the man is helped by a non-disabled dwarf who manages to defeat the monster.<\/p>\n<p>This will be followed by \u201cThe Eagle and the Candimba\u201d (rabbit), that is another tale from the Ovimbundu tradition, recreated by the writer Rau\u0301l David, whose plot revolves around an axe lent by the rabbit to the eagle and, if the latter does not return it, only the turtle will settle a dispute.<\/p>\n<p>From the book Kilandukilu (meaning entertainment in Kimbundu language), collected by the writer O\u0301scar Ribas, the story entitled \u201cThe Frog and the Elephant\u201d will be told. It tells the story of the dispute between Mrs. Maria, who said that both the frog and the elephant intended to have her as a wife. In the end, the frog outsmarts the elephant through cunning.<\/p>\n<p>The last story is entitled \u201cThe Lion and the Mole Were Friends\u201d, is a fable from the oral literature of Icolo and Bengo, which teaches the community to reflect before making a decision, how to face difficulties, as well as how to stay away from sadness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStories at the Baobab\u201d is a project inspired by the Angolan oral tradition and the centuries-old baobab tree of the old soap factory, in the Baleiza\u0303o area of Luanda, around which the public will sit during the sessions.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative, to be held monthly, aims to raise awareness among the population, especially the youngest, about the importance of knowing and valuing the culture and traditional customs of Angola. The sessions are open to the public of all ages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Angola Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
