The story took place in some kilometer from the
capital of my country which is Mali. A man of the name of Aly ate for nothing
in the world of the bean. Since he was a child, his mother, brothers, sisters
and even his friends tried everything but he did not always want to eat it
and he did not either want to say the reason of his refusal to eat it thus the inhabitants
of the village in complicity of the family of Aly put a plan in position. Since
Aly was a child its dream was to become the husband of the beautiful Rouki. As
inhabitants of the village knew that Aly was in love with Rouki, they wanted to
take advantage of the situation. They thus asked the cousin of Aly who is
called Iba to go asking for Rouki in marriage, by knowing that it would not
please Aly.
The following morning, the relatives of Rouki spread
the news in the entire village that they are going to give their daughter in
marriage to the person who is going to answer their criterion. The person has
to eat any kinds of foods without exception. As Aly did not want that his
lady-love becomes the woman of another man, he asked officially Rouki in
marriage and he fell into the trap. At night, Rouki prepared a good dish with
beans for the attention of Aly. When this one opened the lid, he was not
surprised seeing beans in its plate therefore he refused to eat. Then his
wife told him, if you do not eat my dish that means you do not love me, and
that will be the end of our marriage but if you do, I promise you that nobody
will know.
As he loved his wife and did not want that she leaves, he accepted
but on one condition. Aly told his wife, tell me the name of the person to whom
you trust more and go call her for me. His wife went to find her best friend then, Aly
repeated the same question to the best friend of his wife. Few hours
later, the entire village was met in Aly' s house because they wanted to know if Aly had eaten the beans that Rouki prepared for him. Unfortunately for the inhabitants of the village Aly didn't eat the beans that his wife prepared, he wanted to be sure, he could trust her and he told his
wife, if I had eaten your meal this evening the entire village was going to
know it because you told it to your best friend and this one was going to tell it to her best friend and that one will do the same things. That is why I don't trust you and I can't still eat your bean. After this event, the inhabitants of the village
decided to leave quiet Aly because they understood that if his wife didn't arrive to make him eat it anybody could.



This is a very nice story. I enjoyed reading it. You lost me in the end as I got a little confused, maybe it's due to the grammar or the choice of words.
