She had a little farm and some animals, and this is how she earned her living.  \nSarki Jatau wanted to marry one of Mama’s beautiful daughters. So he sent Adamu to Mama on his behalf.  \nAdamu asked Mama for her daughter’s hand in marriage to the king. But Mama refused and gave the daughter to someone else.  \nAdamu was angry because he was unable to obtain Mama’s daughter for the king. Above all, he wanted to please the king so that he would continue in his good favor.  \nSince then, Adamu had been thinking of what to do in order to get revenge on Mama.  \nOne day Adamu was passing by Mama’s house and saw a full-grown bull there. Mama had been raising the bull for years, and she used it on her farm.  \nAdamu had an idea. He was so excited that heran back to the king’s palace. Immediately he told the king’s soldiers to go and bring him the bull. So they went straight to Mama’s house, tied up the bull, took it to the king’s palace, and prepared to slaughter it.  \nThen Adamu announced to the king,“Tonight we will have a feast, and you will have your  \n”  \nrevenge.  \nSo Sarki Jatau was pleased and said,“This I want to see.”  \nAs soon as Mama learned that the king’s soldiers had taken her bull,  \nshe started on her way to the palace, for the bull was her main source of livelihood.","cbCaiogK6rLhOXyC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiogK6rLhOXyC","pdf",571227,25,"English","en",105,"# Plot\n## The king's demand\n## Refusal and revenge plan\n## The bull is seized\n## Mama heads to the palace","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character and what problem does she face?\",\"answer\":\"Mama is an elderly widow trying to survive through her farm and animals.
