Description / content note
Sweet potatoe leaves are frequently used with monkey nuts as a dish in this region, it is said. There was once a man who went to visit a friend who had many fowls. Now expecting that his friend would kill a fowl and cook it for him, he was very disappointed as his friend only cooked sweet potatoe leaves. When he went back home he began to complain saying he would never forget the meanness of his friend in refusing him a fowl. Nthano story for clapping.
