[HANASHIR:12205] Re: HANASHIR digest 1662

Dear Rabbi Wirtschafter,

I know a version of this wonderful story, but don't remember the source. I
remember the story being called "The Feast" and I remember seeing it in a
collection of african folktales by an author whose first name is Harold.
That doesn't sound like a lot of information BUT I'll bet if you call your
local children's public librarian and ask if they have a collection of
african folktales with this information, they might be able to help.

If you are interested in a version of the story, I found one online at this
page:

Good luck! It's a great story.
