An Igbo man, a Yoruba man and an Hausa
man were lost in a forest and then captured
by cannibals.
The king of the cannibals told the prisoners
that they could live if they pass a trial. The
first step was to go deep into the forest and
get ten pieces of the same kind of fruits.
The three men went their separate ways to
gather fruits. The Yoruba man came back
and said to the king, “I brought 10 apples.”
Then the king explained the trial to him, “You
have to swallow the fruits without any
expression on your face or you will be killed.
The first apple went in, but on the second
one, he winced out in pain, so he was killed.
The Igbo man arrived and showed the king
ten berries. When the king explained the trial
to him, he thought to himself that this
should be easy…. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and on the
ninth berry, he burst out in laughter and was
killed.
The Yoruba man and Igbo man met in
heaven and the Yoruba man asked, “Why did
you laugh? You almost got away with the
trial.” The Igbo man replied, “I couldn’t help
it, when I saw the Hausa man coming with
Watermelons!”
