How the Wives Restores Their Husband To Life - This story had a very valid point in it. While I do not think I will have to bring anyone back to life anytime soon, I still think that it was a valid point that the husband made when choosing which wife to join.
How Gazelle Got Married - I read this story previously in the semester, but I do think that this was a great story. It certainly fit into the category of stories from the congo.
The Vanishing Wife - This story shows that sometimes, even if you do not want to, you need to follow directions that are given to you. For if you do not, you sometimes may not be able to keep what you want.
Another Vanishing Wife - This story shows quite plainly what happens when you try to please other people and gain the appreciation of other people compared to the appreciation of yourself and those closest to you.
The Jealous Wife - Only bad things happen when you try to kill, or even hurt, children. They are so precious and so innocent, that anything they do is not something that should become worth being jealous of.
Ngomba's Balloon - This story reminds me of something you would watch on CSI or SVU or some other tv show similar to that. The fact the girl was kidnapped, married to her kidnapper, had to create a long charade to eventually escape from her kidnapper and then her village helped kill the kidnapper.
The Wicked Husband - Well, that is quite a terrible story. But you if don't like someone that much, why did you marry them? Or you could just not get angry over some pine nuts, even if they do take a lot of effort.
How Kengi Lost Her Child - I think that based on the agreement Kengi and Gunga had, Kengi would have been smart enough not to give birth to her child on Gunga's plantation. She knew what the agreement was, so it is her fault that she lost her child.
The Twin Brothers - Brothers can be so violent to each other. One saved the other and saved his wife as well, and they ended up killing each other.
The Younger Brother Who Knew More Than The Elder - It was certainly a clever way the elder brother was able to save the younger brother's wife. And also the fact they ended happily, so they were able to live together peacefully for once.
