A Question of Yams

Kuri's father has planted their yams without praying to the spirits. The Head Men insist that the yams must be planted in just the right way or the spirits will punish Kuri's family.



Now Kuri's father prays to the God of the Bible, and the crops begin to grow. But the sun is too hot, and without water, the yams will die. The Head Men blame Kuri's father. They say that he is being punished because he trusts in God.

Kuri is afraid. If the yams die, everyone will starve. Is his father's God mighty enough to bring rain?
