It was a sunny day in the land of the animals, and the market was bubbling and bustling as usual. The Tortoise sat with his wares of calabash, ikoko and waited for buyers as he usually does every day.

A long time ago, humans and monkeys lived together in the town of Ile-Ife.
Annually, when the humans celebrated the Egungun festival, monkeys were never invited. Humans said the celebration was only for humans, the monkeys could only watch from afar in sadness as they sang and danced in celebration.
This continued for years until the monkeys got tired of being left out of the celebration. They decided to send a representative named Edun to Olodunmare the God on their behalf.
