The narrative explains how evening tales educate children: building family stability, teaching coexistence, and guiding choices between goodness and evil. The story, created through collaboration between Michigan State University and Benin, follows a young girl who agrees to marry a man she meets, only to discover he is not what she imagined. It also includes earlier mythic episodes where forest animals take human form and woo the girl, underlining the ethical lesson behind the plot.","A Love Story  \nAs Told By Madame Angele Affovoh Photographed Judith Vlafonou Gun, English  \nDedication:  \nMadame Angele Affovoh dedicates this book To my children and grandchildren  \nForward by Sandrine Chikou, TS Education Fund: The social function of storytelling and stories in Africa  \nIn Africa the tale, like orality, is the greatest means of education and instruction of the child. During the evenings when the moon was bright, the children gathered around their grandparents to listen to tales. This gathering had several meanings. This allowed the children to come together, to learn the meaning of cohabitation. It created in the children the stability which awakens in them the sense of family spirit. The conclusions, the lessons learned at the end of each tale, were intended to educate children, to open their minds so that they know the difference between goodness and wickedness in order to opt for good and  \navoid evil.  \nA Love Story  \nAs told by Madame Angele AFFOVOH Photos by Judith Vlafonou, Marcy O'Neil Models: Antoinette ADJINATA, Fulbert AKODO, Anicette DEGUENON, Arnaud KINIVI, Yrice KPOKANDJO  \nFunding provided by Three Sisters : Trois Soeurs, L3C and Veterans for Peace Chapter 93  \nGun, English  \nMadame Angele Affovoh  \nCopyright © 2017, Three Sisters : Trois Soeurs L3C  \nFor permission to reuse, contact the copyright holder.  \nGoun-French Translation: Sandrine Chikou  \nFrench-English Translation: Margaret Born  \nPreface:  \nThe creation behind the book, \"A Love Story\", starts from Madame Angele Affovoh. Through the collaboration of people in Michigan State University and Benin, the objective was to publish Madame Angele Affovoh's story for anyone to read through the Bloom software. The story follows a young girl who decides to marry a man she had just met, but ends up realizing that he is not the type of person she had imagined. There is a moral behind this story that every person from around the world can relate to. Our hope is to share this story for anyone to read.  \najru tʃe zɔ̆ mɔ̆ bo yi mɔ̆. vi nyɔ̆nu vɔvɔ ɖe. vi nyɔ̆nu vi lᴐ n sanu de axi ɖe min.  \nMy story flies and lands on a very pretty girl.

This hunter fell in love with this young girl.  \nBut she did not want his love.  \ne wajɛ gbeɖo kpo bɔ ală ɖekăliɲ ɖe e wɔ su nɔ̆ lɛ zun gbɛtɔ . bo nɔ̆ wa aximɛn.  \nIn those days, the wild animals of the forest were transformed into human beings and came to the market. They came out to sell or to store provisions there.  \nbɔ ejɛ gbe do kpo bɔ ka liɲ ɔ ɖo xo nu nyɔ̆nuvi lɔ .  \nvi nyɔ̆nuvi lɔ yi gbe niɲ .  \nbɔ eyɛ katun ɖɔ kăliɲ wɛ a.  \nde eɖɔ xo niɲ ɔ̆ e xwede.  \nye ɖo yiyi wɛ ka kaaa yeyi jɛ fi de.  \nye nă jɛ ɔ fi e e hue alɔ ɖe ᴐ ɖe awa jo ni.  \nOne day, one of these human-looking animals courted the girl.  \nImmediately, she accepted and followed it home.  \n*Recall that, to take the human form, the animals borrowed the limbs of the body as well as the head.  \nelɛ vɔ ɖo yiyi wɛ kaka elɛ vɔ ɖe getɛ jo. elɛ vɔ jɛ fi devo ɔ ede nunkun jo.  \nEya ewa ɖe de ta jo.  \nbo ewa kpo go dolio.  \nɖe ekpo godolio ewajɛ blibliji gbɔ̆ kɔmɛnji ɖo viᴐ pka  \nAs they traveled towards his home he put his feet, his arms and his head back on their owners. His body was transformed. Now he was rolling on the ground next to the girl.","cbCain8lRBktJB0z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain8lRBktJB0z","pdf",63426897,24,"English","en",105,"# Dedication\n# Forward\n# Preface\n# Story Episodes","[{\"question\":\"What role does storytelling play in the book’s Forward?\",\"answer\":\"The Forward explains that, in Africa, storytelling is the greatest means of education for children.
