| Description: | This story was recorded in Amedzofe at a meeting with 10 elderly people. The 10 people were divided into two groups and we talked with each group for an hour. In the first session Sammy interviewed the first five people about what has changed since they were young and what they think Amedzofe will be like in the future. In the second session, Sammy asked the other five people to tell their life stories and then asked if there were other stories or folk tales they could tell. This story was part of the second session in Amedzofe. Peace tells a story and there is some conversation about some proverbs. The recording of this story has been transcribed by Manfred and typed into ELAN, a toolbox file has been created from the ELAN file. Peace tells a story that she has read somewhere. It is a story about a dog who is very greedy and steals meat. Then, when he crosses a river he sees himself in the water and thinks it is another dog with more meat in its mouth. He drops the meat to get the other dog's meat and then he has lost everything. Wisdom then translates the story into English. Then there is some talking between the people present and some proverbs and strange sentences are mentioned. This is also translated by Wisdom. Then there is some more conversation and some more proverbs are mentioned, again translated by Wisdom afterwards. There is one audio recording of this session, and two video recordings. The first video recording includes the story about the dog. The second video recording includes the first proverb telling. Translations are not included on the video recordings.
