Once upon a time, there lived a rich man whose name was Tijan.  He had two wives who were always at each other’s throats.
The younger wife was called ‘Bakotor’ while the elder was called ‘Isatou’ and they both had two children each, a male and female.
Isatou the first wife, was very accommodating, sincere and friendly with everyone who come her way.

But Bakotor the second wife, was not only selfish but jealous of Isatou, whom she tried by all means to displace in the polygamous family of seven.  She felt she had the grace and support of their husband to do whatever she wanted.  In fact, she dictated what the husband Tijan should do and what not to do, what Tijan should give to Isatou and what he must not give.  “He was at her back and call”.  People in the vicinity came to believe that ‘Bakotor” must have charmed their husband.

Bakotor, sought all possible means to harm, Isatou’s children, but to no avail, she cannot succeed.  She prepare a poisonous dish for Isatou’s children, unfortunately for her, her own children came and eat the poisonous food without her knowledge, both of her children eventually died, she couldn’t resist it, but had to tell her sympathizers that she caused her children’s death, she wept bitterly, her angry husband beated her mercilessly, tore her clothes and even attempted to kill her.
Many on lookers and passers-by concluded that she reaped what she sowed.

Morals: The above story teaches wives to do onto others as they may always wish other wives to do onto them and their off-springs.
