Children Book: Abdi’s story

Updated: May 13

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a tribe of people called the Oromo. They were a strong and proud people who lived in harmony with the earth and all its creatures. They had a deep respect for their traditions and culture, and they passed down their stories and knowledge from generation to generation.

One day, a young Oromo boy named Abdi woke up early in the morning and decided to take a walk around his village. As he walked, he saw that the sun was just starting to rise, and the birds were chirping. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the fresh air.

As he was walking, Abdi saw a group of his friends playing a game. They invited him to play, and he happily joined in. As they played, they laughed and joked with each other, and Abdi felt happy to be with his friends.

After the game, Abdi sat down under a tree and thought about the history of his people. He remembered the stories his grandmother used to tell him about their ancestors and how they struggled for freedom and justice. He felt proud to be part of such a strong and courageous people.

As the day went on, Abdi helped his family with their daily chores, and he learned more about his culture and traditions. He learned how to make injera, a delicious flatbread that is a staple food in his culture, and he learned how to dance to the rhythms of the Oromo music.

As the sun began to set, Abdi sat down with his family and enjoyed a delicious meal marqa. They talked about their day and shared stories and laughter. Abdi felt grateful for his family and his community, and he knew that he was part of something special.

As he went to bed that night, Abdi thought about all the things he had learned and experienced that day. He knew that he would always cherish his Oromo culture and traditions, and he promised himself to pass them down to his children and grandchildren.

And so, the Oromo people lived on, strong and proud, passing down their stories and traditions from generation to generation, and Abdi knew that he was a part of that great legacy.
