THE TRIAL OF AN IGBO, YORUBA AND HAUSA MAN

An Igbo man, a Yoruba man and an Hausa
man were lost in a forest and then captured
by cannibals. The king of the cannibals told
the prisoners that they could live if they pass
a trial. The first step was to go deep into the
forest and get ten pieces of the same kind of
fruits. The three men went their separate
ways to gather fruits. The Yoruba man came
back and said to the
king,”I brought 10 apples.”
Then the king explained the trial to him,”You
have to swallow the fruits without any
expression on your face or you will be killed.
The first apple went in, but on the second
one, he winced out in pain, so he was killed.
The Igbo man arrived and showed the king
ten berries. When the king explained the
trial to him, he thought to himself that this
should be
easy…. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8and on the ninth
berry, he burst out in laughter and was
killed.
The Yoruba man and Igbo man met in heaven
and the Yoruba man asked,”Why did you
laugh? You almost got away with the trial.”
The Igbo man replied,”I couldn’t help it,
when I saw the Hausa man coming with
Watermelons!”????
