Fulani flute

The story of the Fulani flute: There was once a little boy who lived in the enchanted mountains of Fouta Djallon in West Africa. He had no parents, no one looked after him. He began to pass the time with a piece of reed. He played and tried for weeks and weeks to elicit sounds from the reeds. He found more and more and more different sounds. The sounds formed themselves into melodies and soon a melodious instrument was invented, the Fulani flute. The boy climbed a tree and began to play. He put his whole heart into his playing. When he looked down, he noticed that all the animals in the mountains had gathered at the foot of the tree and were crying because his music was so beautiful. Since then, the shepherds in the land of the Fulani have been playing the most beautiful flute melodies. (The little flute player, by Lydia Kath)
