“When he saw the stew and remembered how well it would have gone down with boiled yam rather than the plantain, he started crying.

“In the beginning, we convinced him to eat it, and when he ate it till it was left with two fingers, his grandmother asked him, ‘so you ate this plantain’ then he started crying again. In an effort to make him stop crying, Nana (his grandmother) started singing a funny song for him, and then the laughter came in in the process till it stopped.”
