The Cooking Pot African Folktale
The Cooking Pot African Folktale translated into the top three most spoken languages in Africa are Arabic, Kiswahili or Swahili, and Hausa.
A man once brought home to his wife a very old cooking-pot, and told her to use it every day when preparing the evening meal.
The woman was not pleased at the idea of using such a battered vessel, and feared that her friends would ridicule her, but she dared not disobey her husband, and began to use the pot, as he demanded.
Little did she guess that the pot was a magic one, and had the virtue of turning the ashes of the fire, on which it rested, into gold. Every night the husband crept out, when all were asleep in the huts around the compound, and gathered together these golden ashes, which he stored safely away.
One day a young man in the village was about to set off on a journey; he came to the woman while her husband was absent, and asked a favor of her. He said that he had taken a fancy to her old cooking-pot, and would give her a fine new one in exchange for it. The woman hesitated, but she was ashamed of the ugly old pot, and was glad of an excuse to get rid of it.
When her husband found what she had done, he was very angry, but it was now too late to recover the pot, as the young man was already far away in the forest.
Naturally, he had not obtained the pot without knowing its secret, for he had observed the actions of the man who so mysteriously collected the ashes every night; and it is said that from that day the young man spent his life cooking, and so earned the name of “Chop,” or “Food!

Mpikaji wa kupikia Afrika Folktale
Mtu mmoja alileta nyumbani kwake mkewe sufuria ya kale ya kupikia, akamwambia aitumie kila siku wakati wa kuandaa chakula cha jioni.
Mwanamke hakuwa na furaha ya kutumia chombo hicho kilichopigwa, na aliogopa kuwa marafiki zake watamdharau, lakini hakutaka kumtii mumewe, na akaanza kutumia sufuria, kama alivyodai.
Yeye hakufikiri kwamba sufuria ilikuwa moja ya uchawi, na alikuwa na nguvu ya kugeuka majivu ya moto, ambayo ilipumzika, ndani ya dhahabu. Kila usiku mume akaondoka nje, wakati wote walikuwa wamelala katika vibanda karibu na kiwanja, na wakakusanyika majivu haya ya dhahabu, ambayo aliihifadhi salama.
Siku moja kijana mmoja katika kijiji alikuwa karibu kwenda safari; alikuja kwa mwanamke wakati mumewe hakuwapo, na akamwuliza neema yake. Alisema kuwa alikuwa amefanya dhana ya sufuria yake ya kupikia zamani, na angeweza kumpa mpya mpya kwa ajili yake. Mwanamke alisita, lakini alikuwa na aibu ya sufuria ya zamani, na alikuwa na furaha ya kujiondoa.
Mumewe alipopata kile alichokifanya, alikasirika sana, lakini sasa alikuwa amekwisha kuchelewa sana kuokoa sufuria, kama kijana huyo alikuwa tayari yuko mbali sana katika msitu.
Kwa kawaida, hakuwa na pombe bila kujua siri yake, kwa sababu alikuwa ameona matendo ya mtu ambaye amekusanya majivu kila usiku; na inasema kuwa tangu siku hiyo kijana huyo alitumia maisha yake kupika, na hivyo alipata jina la "Chop," au "Chakula!
