my beloved husband she called to Sango I have prepared something special for you today Sango sat down excited to taste obos cooking but as he St the pepper soup his hand struck something unusual he many many years ago in the ancient land of the euroba people where magic flowed like water and gods walked among Mortals Liv the mighty Sangle his voice could shake mountains and his anger could split disguise but even the most powerful men can be moved by love and Sango had three wives who moved his heart in different ways Oba the first wife
had been raised from B to be a queen her bearing was Regal her knowledge of Palace Traditions unmatched each morning she would wake Before Dawn to oversee the palace Affairs her voice gentle but firm as she directed The servant the palace must reflect sango's greatness she would say or Justus in the elaborate Arrangements of fresh flowers and fruits in the great palace everything must be perfect the servants loved OBO for her kindness our first queen has hands of gold they would whisper among themselves she makes the palace run like a well oiled drum then there
was oson whose Beauty was legendary throughout the land her eyes sparkled like a morning Jew and her laugh could make flowers bloom but it was in the kitchen where her true magic emerged cooking is not just about feding the body H would say to the young kitchen mates it is about touching the soul the third wife Oya was different from her co-wives quick wited and observant she moved through the palace like a swift wind seeing everything but revealing little while others might Overlook her she was always watching always learning knowledge she would murmur to herself
is the true source of power every evening when the sun painted the sky orange and red Sango would make his way to 's Canvas drawn by the delicious Smo coming from her kitchen oh my sweet oen Sango W exclaimed his eyes brightening at the sight of her cooking what delicious dish have you prepared for me today OS soon would SM mysteriously stirring her pots with graceful movements my Lord today I have prepared your favorite Amala with pepper soup the spices are just the way you like them nobody makes pepper soup like you do o soon
Sango would say closing his eyes as he saved each spoonful it warms my heart and fires my spirit from her Corner over fed her heart crack like dry Earth in the drought season she remembered when sango's eyes had Shone for her that way in the early days of their marriage ohya ever observant approached her co-wife quietly the heart is like a river over she say softly its course can change with time but I am his first wife Oba whispered her voice thick with unshed tears I have given him everything my youth my loyalty my love
how can he prefer her simple soups to all I offer be careful or you warned jealousy is like poison it kills slowly but surely but Oba was beyond hearing such wisdom each day she washed as s or spent more time in lon's Chambers drawn by the incredible Aromas that wafted from her kitchen each night she lay awake plotting ways to capture her husband's attention one day after watching Sango praise os's cooking yet again Oba gathered her courage and approached o in the kitchen co-wife ubo said her voice trembling I must know your secret how do
you make your food so special that our husband cannot resist it oson looked at obber a clever glint in her eye she glanced around to make sure they were alone then leaned close to whisper do you really want to know OS asked her voice Hy sweet but her heart full of mischief yes please I would do anything to make my husband love me as he once did 's lips curved into a subtle smile very well but you must promise never to reveal this secret I promise I promise Oba said eagerly the secret is sacrifice o
wh B each time I cook for our husband I cut off a tiny piece of my ear and added to his food the sacrifice of my own flesh shows my complete Devotion to his happiness oba's eyes widened your ear yes OS said touching her head wrap that cleverly covered her ears but remember Sister the greater the sacrifice the greater the love he will feel that night Oba couldn't sleep she tossed and turned 's words echoing in her mind the greater the sacrifice the greater the love she repeated to herself the next morning Oba Rose Before
Dawn her hands shaking with determination she went to her kitchen took a sharp knife and did something that would change her life forever instead of cutting just a small piece she cut off her entire right ear if a small piece earns such love she thought through her pain my complete sacrifice will make him love me more than anyone through tears and trembling hands she prepared sango's favorite pepper soup carefully cooking her ear within it she served it with fresh steaming Amala on the side my beloved husband she called to Sango I have prepared something special
for you today Sango sat down excited to taste obus cooking but as he St the pepper soup his hand struck something unusual he fished it out and his eyes grew wide with horror as he recognized a human ear what is this Abomination his voice bmed like thunder shaking the palace walls are you trying to kill me with this witchcraft no my love Oba cried falling to her knees it is my ear I sacrificed it to show you my love just as os does os does what s turned to his second wife who stood in the
doorway her face pale 's deception was revealed and sango's rage knew no bounds lightning crackled from his fingers as he rode leave my Palace both of you OB ran from the palace her tears flowing so heavily they carved a part in the Earth where her tears fell they became the mighty W River Sango in his Fury called down rain upon o soon and she too melted away becoming the oome river through all of this Oya had been watching and learning she had discovered many of sango's magical Secrets through careful observation but seeing the fate of
Her Sister Wives she chose a different PA when Sango finally discovered that she had learned his powers she too became a river goddess but one with the special purpose she became the protector of women in marriage unleashing her Fury upon any who would abuse their wives as she had witnessed in sango's Palace Sango consumed by the tragedy of his household called down lightly upon his Palace some say he HED himself in grief but the truth is far more powerful he drove himself into the ground at era emerging as the god of thunder and lightning now
he rose the skies his voice still heard in every thunder clap but the story doesn't end there to this day when the OB river meets the osun river you can hear a mighty Splash and a sound of angry voices it said to be OB and osun still fighting over their betrayal you deceived me the water of OB Crush you were foolish to believe me 's Waters reply the sound is so loud that people from nearby Villages often gather to listen to The quarreling Rivers some say that during the rainy season when Sango Thunder Rolls across
the sky the argument grows even louder as if he still scoring his quarreling wives and so the rivers flow on teaching us important lessons never trust sweet words spoken in jealousy never let Envy drive you to harm yourself and remember that deception like water we always find it way to the surface [Music]
