Once upon a time, na ofu ’obodo in a certain land, the Igwe gave a directive to the town crier and said: “Use the Ogene and announce to all my subjects that there is a task I’ll show them, that anyone that first finishes his own, I’ll give him my daughter, Adaeze’m in marriage.”
The Town-crier then did as his master instructed. It came to be that when the day dawned, the Mbe awoke and picked up his matchet and went to his friend - Ejula and suggested that they go and know why the Igwe is calling them.
