The work is copyrighted under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, allowing for commercial use, adaptation, and distribution provided the original copyright and credits are maintained. The narrative recounts a tale of a bean and a piece of coal attempting to cross a river. They engage in an argument over who should cross first, with the bean ultimately going ahead. When the coal attempts to cross, it falls into the river, leading to a comical reaction from the bean, which laughs so hard it splits into two. This story, attributed to a traditional tale, highlights themes of choice, consequence, and perhaps a touch of schadenfreude in a simple, child-friendly narrative. The inclusion of children's artwork adds a unique visual dimension to the classic fable, making it an engaging read for young audiences and a testament to collaborative storytelling and artistic expression from diverse communities.","Bean and Coal  \nEnglish Story Book  \nBean and Coal  \nA Traditional Tale Illustrations by Children of Paleng Translated by Khothatso Ranoosi and Marion Drew  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2015, African Storybook Initiative  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.
