I read Part A of the Congo unit from African Tales. I was intrigued to read these because some of them tells stories of magical powers embodied in physical form. I really enjoyed the story, How The Wives Restored Their Husband To Life. The three wives all had very long and beautiful names, and they each had their own power. The Dreamer, The Guide, and The Raiser of the Dead and they all played an important role in the story. I think if I was going to take anything from this story and incorporate it into my own, it would be the powers given to the wives. However, I don't see my story having one husband and three wives, but I like the idea of giving them powers.
