<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"arial","sans-serif"">A West African legend. Once
upon a time, in the kingdom of the great Mali Empire, a man of royalty, who was
blessed with a beautiful daughter, Kumba, lost his kind and gentle wife.<span> </span>By African tradition, he remarried and not only
gained a wife, but another daughter, Penda, who was quite spoiled and disrespectful.<span> </span>For a while, the new wife was good, but then she
began to be very demanding and domineering to her husband and Kumba, but nice to
Penda. If this reminds you of the story of Cinderella, you are good.</span></p>
