A PUZZLE--An Old Scottish Riddle

ebook
ISSN: 2397-9607 Issue 77

In Issue 77 of the Baba Indaba Children's Stories, Baba Indaba narrates an old Scottish riddle used to teach children. It goes something like this.....in Scotland, there was a custom once through the Gældom (areas of Scotland where Scottish Gaelic is spoken,) when a man would die, that the whole people of the place would gather together to the house in which the dead man was called Tigh aire faire (the shealing of watching, now better known as a wake), and they would be at drinking, and singing, and telling tales, till the white day should come.

At this time they were gathered together in the house of watching, and there was a man in this house, and when the tale went about, he had neither tale nor song, and as he had not, he was put out at the door. When he was put out he stood at the end of the barn; he was afraid to go farther. He was but a short time standing when a number of apparitions passed him by. When he asked an old woman for an explanation, he was left even more perplexed...... So what was so mystifying about the apparitions and the explanation he received? Well you'll just have to download and read the story to find out just what went on.



Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".



Each issue also has a "WHERE IN THE WORLD - LOOK IT UP" section, where young readers are challenged to look up a place on a map somewhere in the world. The place, town or city is relevant to the story, on map. HINT - use Google maps.
