Help needed - folktale
|

Hi everyone !
Maybe you heard about the African tale of the girl who married a boa constrictor , and then it starts eating her, its acids deforms her and finally nobody wants to marry her again. It �s name is "Segi and the Boa Constrictor". It �s a Yoruba tale, an African folktale.
I �ve been trying to find the printed version or a summary but I �ve found nothing yet.
Can anyone help me , please? ( It �s the third time I �ve posted a thread about it  and I �ve received no answer yet)
Please, please, please. Any ideas? I do need it.
Thanks a lot!

Hello NanG You may find this link helpful to you. There is a summary about it. Sorry it �s so long. http://books.google.ca/books?id=YsZBfcDv1UQC&pg=PA16&lpg=PA16&dq=Segi+and+the+Boa&source=bl&ots=xTjiablXEc&sig=BYjhZQi-i65JzhApkmS9LGv7M4g&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BumcUZmXCMqoywGWqoEg&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Segi%20and%20the%20Boa&f=false

Thanks maceman & marys� pey� for sending the links.
I looked at the one you sent me, maceman, and the story about the boa is totally different from the one I �m looking for. Or...am I wrong? Did you read it or did you just see the title ? Does it go by any other name?
Anyway, I still don �t know what to do because I also need another African folktale and I can �t find it either. It �s called ( or it seems to be called) "Yonjwa Seeks a Wife".
I think I �ll keep on searching!!
Thanks a lot !! & Warmest hug !! =)
