presenting it to the king. Before the spirit could utter
another word the king threw the kola nut into his mouth
and chewed on it. The kola nut was extremely bitter, and
the king spat what was in his mouth into the river.

Spirit, the cashew fruit was delicious, but I could not
figure out what to do with the nut so I threw it into the
fire
Very well said the spirit. I have but one more nut to
give you. Please take your time and choose carefully.
The king pondered and pondered, and after a while
asked the spirit to give him the nut he needed the most
The spirit smiled, and said the nut you need the most is
the coconut. It will quench your thirst and fill your belly,
and you can use its husk for an array of things. Sounds
fantastic said the king, may I have it?
To taste the coconut, you must learn to be patient, andwait for the nut to fall from its tree
After days of waiting, the king came back to the spirit and
said I have waited for days, but the coconut hasnt
falling. What should I do next?

Since the coconut has refused to fall, you must learn to
climb its tree and pluck it down.
After days of trial and error, the king finally mastered
climbing the coconut tree.

At last, the coconut was plucked. The king drank the

And so began the legends of the obaland spirits.
Abo, the spirit of the forests in whom the Oba sought
counsel in the matters of public administration.
Agu, The spirit of fire in whom the Oba sought counsel in
matters of trade and leisure.
Mami, the water spirit in whom the Oba sought counsel
in matters of war
Together with the Oba, the 3 sages ran the affairs of Oba
city to near perfection. At the time, no country was
richer, no army was stronger, and no nation was
happier

Off all the sages, one was clearly loved and revered by
the people the most; that sage was Abo. His wisdom,
patience, and kind spirit earned him approbation and
respect throughout the land. This in turn, and in time,
drove the water sage Mami into jealousy. As morepeople came to Abo with entreaty, the more Mamis
hatred for Abo grew.

While Abo and Agu thought their apprentices the ways
of wisdom and trade respectively, Mami trained her
apprentices in the ways of the dark arts, and led them
into a battle to destroy the followers of Abo, and take
over Obacity. A long battle ensued between Abo and
Mami, forcing the sky spirits to intervene, turning Mami
and her followers into mermaids, and banishing them
into the rivers of Obacity.
