🎵 Long, long ago in Akete town, a famous trader named Kerejigbo had two wives: Rongbe (first wife) and Sarera. Rongbe had no children, but Sarera had a daughter, Mobarewa.
😠 Rongbe fought and made up lies. She wanted Sarera and Mobarewa to leave. Neighbors didn’t like Rongbe, but everyone loved kind Sarera.
🐦 Mobarewa was a smart girl with a beautiful singing voice. Rongbe hated being woken by her songs.
👑 Kerejigbo was an Ojeje Trader – he traveled to a huge market. When he needed a wife to travel with him, Rongbe refused, but Sarera happily helped.
💕 Sarera was hardworking and loved Mobarewa very much. She started weaving beautiful aso-oke cloth. Everyone wanted her designs! Rongbe grew jealous.
🎶 One day a famous cloth trader from Ojeje praised Sarera: “You should become an Ojeje Trader!” But Sarera worried: “Who will care for my daughter?”
😢 When Sarera decided to travel to Ojeje for ten days, Mobarewa begged: “Mama, please don’t leave me with that woman! I’m scared!”
🌧️ But Rongbe heard everything. The moment Sarera left, Rongbe became cruel. She made Mobarewa work all day, gave her almost no food – only yam peels and sour, bitter water-yam.
🎤 Early one morning, Mobarewa slipped out to the crossroads where Ojeje Traders passed. The ground was muddy. She began to sing:
🌟 The traders were amazed. They pulled her from the mud. “This child is in trouble! We must find her mother!”
🎶 The next day, Mobarewa returned and sang the same song again. (Hear it once more!)
⛈️ On the third day, rain made the mud deeper. Mobarewa was so weak she let herself sink. “Let the earth swallow me. Death is better than Rongbe’s torture,” she thought.
🏃🏿♀️ In Ojeje, Sarera heard about the “Sinking Singing Girl.” “That is my Mobarewa!” She rushed home without stopping.
💔 She found her daughter waist-deep in mud, crying: “Let me die!” Sarera screamed: “Mobarewa, I’m here! I love you! I will never leave you again!”
🔥 The people shouted at Rongbe: “Witch! Child-hater!” Rongbe tried to lie but no one believed her. The next morning, Rongbe packed her things and left forever. Nobody ever saw her again.
🕊️ Kerejigbo returned, learned everything, and was sad but grateful that Sarera and Mobarewa were safe. Peace finally came to their home. Sarera became his only wife, and Mobarewa grew up singing beautifully.
“Wickedness never wins. Love and kindness matter most. Never leave a child with someone who hates them. Always listen to those who are hurting, and help them bravely.” 💕🐦
