The Beautiful Girl of the Moon Tower

From the Cape Verde Islands to the Americas
Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join your Griot, Amon Mazingo, as we navigate through two enchanting tales steeped in the rich traditions of Indigenous and African descendant cultures. In our first story, "TWolf & Birds & the Fish-Horse," we follow a wolf who, tricked by his nephew, finds himself at a dance instead of a feast. He learns a valuable lesson about humility and gratitude. Next, in "The Beautiful Girl of the Moon Tower," we meet Anton, who embarks on a quest to win the heart of a girl he dreams about, only to face challenges that test his resolve and morality. With themes of wit, love, and the consequences of one's actions, these stories remind us of the intricate tapestry of our shared folklore.

13:32.887 --> 13:34.187
[SPEAKER_03]: He flew to the window.
13:34.747 --> 13:36.207
[SPEAKER_03]: He called for the ant.
13:37.107 --> 13:40.688
[SPEAKER_03]: I make me an ant that goes when nobody knows.
13:42.728 --> 13:44.749
[SPEAKER_03]: And he turned into an ant again.
13:45.749 --> 13:48.669
[SPEAKER_03]: He went straight to the beautiful girl's room.
13:49.170 --> 13:51.450
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, I make me an ant.
13:53.753 --> 13:56.734
[SPEAKER_03]: When he spoke, Anton turned into himself.
13:57.394 --> 14:00.396
[SPEAKER_03]: The girl asked, what are you doing here?
14:02.016 --> 14:06.058
[SPEAKER_03]: Anton answered, I've come to get you to marry me.
14:07.898 --> 14:09.179
[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot marry you.
14:09.979 --> 14:13.060
[SPEAKER_00]: She said, my father would not let me.
14:14.441 --> 14:16.762
[SPEAKER_03]: If there is no other way, said Anton.
14:18.122 --> 14:19.843
[SPEAKER_03]: I will take your father's life.
14:20.743 --> 14:22.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Go ask him where his life is.
14:24.476 --> 14:26.276
[SPEAKER_03]: Then he called for the aunt.
14:26.296 --> 14:32.238
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I, make me an aunt that goes where nobody knows.
14:34.158 --> 14:35.879
[SPEAKER_03]: The aunt went under the father's bed.
14:36.339 --> 14:39.180
[SPEAKER_03]: The girl came there to her father, she asked.
14:39.240 --> 14:43.321
[SPEAKER_00]: My father, where is your life?
14:44.281 --> 14:47.482
[SPEAKER_03]: Her father said, why do you ask me?
14:48.562 --> 14:52.243
[SPEAKER_03]: It is for some, with devilment.
14:53.274 --> 14:55.395
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I only want to know.
14:56.555 --> 15:06.459
[SPEAKER_03]: She said, well, he said to her, my life is inside the belly of a hole in my garden.
15:06.879 --> 15:12.602
[SPEAKER_03]: Inside the hog's belly is an A inside the egg is my life.
15:14.122 --> 15:21.425
[SPEAKER_03]: The ant that was ant time had been listening and he said, I make me a boy.
15:23.045 --> 15:26.529
[SPEAKER_03]: Anton turned into himself, he went to the girls room.
15:26.909 --> 15:28.031
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, turn.
15:28.831 --> 15:31.494
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'm going to kill that hog.
15:32.616 --> 15:38.502
[SPEAKER_03]: I make me an eagle that flies seven miles without tiring or sweating.
15:40.231 --> 15:41.492
[SPEAKER_03]: He turned into an eagle.
15:41.512 --> 15:43.574
[SPEAKER_03]: He flew to the father's garden.
15:43.994 --> 15:45.936
[SPEAKER_03]: He fought with the hog.
15:46.796 --> 15:50.039
[SPEAKER_03]: But could not get the better of it.
15:50.820 --> 15:58.266
[SPEAKER_03]: So he called for the lion and said, I, I make me a lion, the king of the animals.
15:59.846 --> 16:01.407
[SPEAKER_03]: He turned into a lion.
16:02.148 --> 16:03.589
[SPEAKER_03]: He fought with the Hulk.
16:04.170 --> 16:08.494
[SPEAKER_03]: As soon as he began to fight, the father of the girl became sick.
16:09.134 --> 16:13.218
[SPEAKER_03]: The more Anton beat the Hulk, the thicker the father became.
16:14.259 --> 16:17.201
[SPEAKER_03]: Finally, Anton killed the Hulk.
16:17.962 --> 16:21.385
[SPEAKER_03]: He opened it up and took out the egg.
16:22.065 --> 16:24.688
[SPEAKER_03]: He broke the egg and the father.
16:25.208 --> 16:25.549
[SPEAKER_03]: die.
16:26.630 --> 16:29.073
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm called for the dove again.
16:29.814 --> 16:34.780
[SPEAKER_03]: I make me a death that fly seven miles without tiring or sweating.
16:36.489 --> 16:37.370
[SPEAKER_03]: He became a dove.
16:38.151 --> 16:43.876
[SPEAKER_03]: He flew to the window of the tower where he turned into the ant and went inside.
16:44.937 --> 16:46.978
[SPEAKER_03]: The house was covered in black.
16:47.499 --> 16:49.220
[SPEAKER_03]: They buried the father.
16:50.341 --> 16:52.624
[SPEAKER_03]: As himself, Anton married the girl.
16:53.164 --> 16:56.007
[SPEAKER_03]: He became king of the inhabitants of the moon.
16:57.288 --> 17:01.592
[SPEAKER_03]: And a beautiful girl of the tower became queen.
17:17.088 --> 17:21.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, these were two interesting stories.
17:22.471 --> 17:35.219
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to admit, so these books come these stories, I'm sorry, come from the people could fly American black folk tales told by Virginia Hamilton illustrated by Leo and Diane Dylan.
17:37.521 --> 17:42.764
[SPEAKER_03]: So the first story, Wolf, one, you deserve everything you got.
17:44.123 --> 17:45.868
[SPEAKER_03]: That it was joke, right?
17:46.188 --> 17:51.983
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, came through the wrong type of party, but you did not have to I feel like he got drunk at the party
17:52.790 --> 17:58.972
[SPEAKER_03]: and started going in on people that hand up business going in on because they helped them get over there to begin with.
17:59.052 --> 18:03.554
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I'm your ride to the party and then you start talking crazy to me.
18:04.314 --> 18:06.895
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to be your ride home, right?
18:07.135 --> 18:09.516
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just not going that happen.
18:09.736 --> 18:11.857
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's what the Wolf did here, right?
18:11.937 --> 18:17.398
[SPEAKER_03]: He was basically, you know, being an ale, right?
18:18.759 --> 18:21.840
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but one thing got me right while I'm reading this story.
18:23.037 --> 18:24.759
[SPEAKER_03]: what is a fish horse.
18:25.740 --> 18:31.707
[SPEAKER_03]: So the one thing I love about this particular book by Virginia Hamilton is that the end of the story should give you a little background.
18:32.448 --> 18:36.593
[SPEAKER_03]: So this story and the other story both come from the Cape of Verde Islands.
18:36.993 --> 18:41.698
[SPEAKER_03]: If a little quick history about the Cape Verde Islands, they were they are a Portuguese
18:43.480 --> 18:45.021
[SPEAKER_03]: property territory, right?
18:45.782 --> 18:52.806
[SPEAKER_03]: But they were a resting stop for the transatlantic slave trade by the Portuguese and everything.
18:52.926 --> 19:03.592
[SPEAKER_03]: They it was an island or a set of islands where they would take enslaved Africans to drop them off there for a while and then ship them to the Americas.
19:03.892 --> 19:11.797
[SPEAKER_03]: Many of them went to Brazil, many of them went to the Caribbean, but some did land in the Americas and I think that's what
19:13.637 --> 19:25.242
[SPEAKER_03]: where these two particular stories came from those Portuguese immigrants and enslaved Africans that came from Cape Rere Islands.
19:27.283 --> 19:32.125
[SPEAKER_03]: This story was originally told in what they call the Portuguese Mandingo dialect.
19:32.745 --> 19:35.186
[SPEAKER_03]: So that tells you a lot about that.
19:36.486 --> 19:40.628
[SPEAKER_03]: But the term fish horse
19:42.557 --> 19:54.084
[SPEAKER_03]: or fish cow is a man to tea or a walrus and when you look at the imagery in the book and maybe I'll put maybe I'll post it at the time.
19:54.685 --> 19:55.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Look at the imagery in the book.
19:56.526 --> 19:57.586
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a walrus.
19:57.626 --> 19:59.688
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he's writing in the bag of walrus.
20:00.408 --> 20:08.251
[SPEAKER_03]: And that killed me as soon as I looked at the picture when I was reading them like, he's right, a fish horse, a fish cow, a walrus.
20:10.252 --> 20:12.953
[SPEAKER_03]: Or a man to, you know, whatever you want to do.
20:13.133 --> 20:13.994
[SPEAKER_03]: That killed you.
20:14.014 --> 20:17.815
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I had to include this story, this particular story.
20:18.456 --> 20:20.436
[SPEAKER_03]: It besides fact that both came from Cape Beard.
20:20.877 --> 20:23.218
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, Anton.
20:24.798 --> 20:26.139
[SPEAKER_03]: Anton I got words for.
20:26.159 --> 20:28.100
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't appreciate Anton.
20:28.120 --> 20:29.080
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like Anton.
20:30.223 --> 20:32.544
[SPEAKER_03]: Anton had no reason to kill the dad.
20:34.385 --> 20:48.851
[SPEAKER_03]: There was nothing in this story that told me the dad was holding his daughter prisoner or that he had a problem with Anton or had a problem with anything like she says her daddy ain't gonna allow her to get married.
20:49.887 --> 20:51.068
[SPEAKER_03]: from what she knows.
20:52.849 --> 20:55.491
[SPEAKER_03]: And the dad kind of, the dad kind of called it, right?
20:55.511 --> 20:58.213
[SPEAKER_03]: The king, he's like, yo, you asked me what my life is.
20:58.774 --> 21:01.176
[SPEAKER_03]: It's some, you know, the devilment going on.
21:01.896 --> 21:02.857
[SPEAKER_03]: You're planning something.
21:03.838 --> 21:04.278
[SPEAKER_03]: And they weren't.
21:04.758 --> 21:05.159
[SPEAKER_03]: And they did.
21:06.285 --> 21:12.389
[SPEAKER_03]: I really feel like the daughter wanted to be queen by any news necessary.
21:12.889 --> 21:13.489
[SPEAKER_03]: This is me.
21:14.950 --> 21:21.234
[SPEAKER_03]: And when Anton and she was sitting that message at the end time, because like, all right, you know, I found me a little boo.
21:21.614 --> 21:22.495
[SPEAKER_03]: He gonna come out here.
21:22.535 --> 21:23.755
[SPEAKER_03]: He gonna do what I needed him to do.
21:24.836 --> 21:30.899
[SPEAKER_03]: And he did, you know, because it was no reason for like nothing in the story said, all right, you know,
21:32.580 --> 21:38.224
[SPEAKER_03]: You could have literally just went to the king and said, hey, I want to marry your daughter.
21:38.324 --> 21:39.485
[SPEAKER_03]: He might have said, okay.
21:40.105 --> 21:40.426
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
21:41.146 --> 21:41.686
[SPEAKER_03]: No problem.
21:42.067 --> 21:42.487
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?
21:42.967 --> 21:43.448
[SPEAKER_03]: But he did.
21:44.148 --> 21:49.612
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, y'all, if you say you're daddy ain't going allowed to go down, I kill him for it.
21:50.973 --> 21:52.233
[SPEAKER_03]: But you just met this woman.
21:52.574 --> 21:54.575
[SPEAKER_03]: Why is he ready to kill somebody for it?
21:54.655 --> 21:54.975
[SPEAKER_03]: You know?
21:56.196 --> 21:56.796
[SPEAKER_03]: You know her?
21:57.617 --> 21:58.798
[SPEAKER_03]: You saw her in a dream cup of time.
21:58.818 --> 21:59.238
[SPEAKER_03]: You know her?
22:00.529 --> 22:03.090
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, so I feel like they killed the death no reason.
22:05.911 --> 22:08.392
[SPEAKER_03]: And in fact, he had to, you know, but this one of those kind of stories.
22:08.473 --> 22:12.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, this comes from Cape Verde Islands.
22:14.415 --> 22:25.060
[SPEAKER_03]: And according to Mr. Virginia Hamilton or Mrs. Virginia Hamilton, I never, I don't know which her situation that she wrote these books.
22:26.040 --> 22:30.706
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, they are what they're called an exaggerated reality tale.
22:31.887 --> 22:46.503
[SPEAKER_03]: They, um, I call it basically a fairy tale, but, you know, um, we're the type of characters that said to, you know, um, and the characters are exaggerated powers from that type of a bit, you know, stuff like that.
22:48.700 --> 22:51.182
[SPEAKER_03]: fanciful type characters, you know.
22:51.763 --> 22:54.525
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I didn't have much for these.
22:54.665 --> 22:57.088
[SPEAKER_03]: I just really wanted to share them.
22:58.209 --> 23:01.171
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a couple people on YouTube that share these.
23:02.372 --> 23:04.034
[SPEAKER_03]: The story from this book too.
23:04.514 --> 23:07.216
[SPEAKER_03]: I love Virginia Hamilton's stories.
23:07.577 --> 23:09.058
[SPEAKER_03]: I love her her books.
23:11.680 --> 23:13.681
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a bunch more stories to read out of this book.
23:13.701 --> 23:15.322
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a couple things.
23:15.382 --> 23:18.623
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm put on Patreon from the other book.
23:20.244 --> 23:22.745
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of some accounts post slavery.
23:23.545 --> 23:25.086
[SPEAKER_03]: So be on a lookout for that.
23:26.086 --> 23:28.647
[SPEAKER_03]: Doing shorts on Patreon.
23:29.167 --> 23:32.809

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing a little short of a little, little, little John's as they call him in the nautical realm.

23:48.535 --> 23:56.698
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know where it's going to come from because these individuals landed all over and there's no real particular location for these stories.
23:57.299 --> 24:00.040
[SPEAKER_03]: So probably something, you know.
24:01.160 --> 24:01.540
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
24:01.560 --> 24:02.461
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what's going to be.
24:02.901 --> 24:04.002

24:43.470 --> 24:48.855

24:51.397 --> 24:54.540
[SPEAKER_03]: Two pounds, small chicken wings, or party wings.

25:24.744 --> 25:26.545
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, how do we put this together?
25:27.326 --> 25:27.706
[SPEAKER_03]: Easy.
25:28.647 --> 25:36.132
[SPEAKER_03]: In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, the minced garlic, and the salt and pepper.
25:37.052 --> 25:40.835
[SPEAKER_03]: Add the chicken wings and toss them with the marinade.
25:42.616 --> 25:45.958
[SPEAKER_03]: Making sure every piece of chicken is coated.
25:47.079 --> 25:51.722
[SPEAKER_03]: Cover and bring the bowl to the fridge overnight.
25:52.968 --> 25:57.829
[SPEAKER_03]: Next, add the flower and the wings to a simple back.
25:58.630 --> 26:04.031
[SPEAKER_03]: Close the back and shake it so every wing is coated with flower.
26:07.992 --> 26:12.593
[SPEAKER_03]: Fill a saucepan with enough oil to deep fry the wings.
26:12.994 --> 26:17.935
[SPEAKER_03]: Heat the oil over medium high heat and when the oil is hot enough
26:18.368 --> 26:24.551
[SPEAKER_03]: lower the heat to medium low and start frying the wings in batches, five or six at a time.
26:26.091 --> 26:39.157
[SPEAKER_03]: When the wings looked cooked and beginning to gain color, turn the heat up to high so they get extra crispy and fry them until golden brown.
26:40.718 --> 26:45.220
[SPEAKER_03]: Set the fried wings over paper towel to observe the excess oil.
26:46.348 --> 26:50.272
[SPEAKER_03]: turn the heat back to low and proceed to frying the other ones.
26:51.213 --> 26:58.940
[SPEAKER_03]: Once all wings are fried, transfer them to a serving dish and decorate with some lime slices and wedges.
27:00.341 --> 27:06.667
[SPEAKER_03]: In a saute pan, heat the olive oil and saute with sliced garlic.
27:07.648 --> 27:09.970
[SPEAKER_03]: Pour that garlic over the wings.
27:11.121 --> 27:16.584
[SPEAKER_03]: finish the dish with some chalked parsley and red pepper flakes if using and serve.
