Description:This story was recorded in Amedzofe at a meeting with 10 elderly people. The 10 people were divided into two groups and we talked with each group for an hour. In the first session Sammy interviewed the first five people about what has changed since they were young and what they think Amedzofe will be like in the future. In the second session, Sammy asked the other five people to tell their life stories and then asked if there were other stories or folk tales they could tell. This story was part of the second session in Amedzofe. Awua and Yawa talk about the puberty rites or 'ablabe' as they were performed in the past. Awua speaks first, then Wisdom translates her story, then Yawa speaks some more. This story has been transcribed in ELAN, a toolbox file has been created from the ELAN file. Previous to this recording, Sammy asked the people present whether they have any stories to tell. Then, Awua starts talking about how the puberty rites were performed in the past. When she finishes, Wisdom translates into English. After that, Yawa talks some more about the puberty rites. Wisdom translates again. The translations are only included on the audio recording. The stories are told in Avatime, Wisdom translates them into English. Awua and Yawa talk about puberty rites. Widsom translates into English. Other people present: Rebecca, Saskia, Sammy, Dagadu, Peace, Mamavi. Manfred transcribed and translated the recording.
