The Talking Drum’s Mischief🤓 In the lively village of Olorun, there was a magical drum called Bata, owned by Baba Tunde, the village drummer. But Bata had one small problem—it loved to gossip.🤪 One evening, during a grand festival, Baba Tunde played the drum for the king. As soon as he stopped, Bata started talking on its own! "Ah! Let me tell you a secret! The chief ate three extra bowls of pounded yam today!" Bata blurted.🤗 The villagers gasped. The chief turned red😡. Then Bata continued, "And the king’s royal rooster? It ran away last night! The guards are still looking for it!" The king’s eyes widened in embarrassment. The villagers burst into laughter.😂 Baba Tunde grabbed the drum. "Bata! Enough!"🙅 But Bata wasn’t done. It giggled, "Oh! And guess what? Baba Tunde himself snores so loud that birds fly away!"😄 The crowd roared with laughter, while Baba Tunde hid his face in shame.😅 Realizing its mistake, Bata sighed. "Maybe I should learn to keep quiet..."🤐 From that day on, Bata only spoke when necessary—and the village was much more peaceful! Moral Lesson: Not everything needs to be said. Sometimes, silence is golden!
