Why the Snake Has No Legs | Why the Snake Crawls on its Belly

🐍 Long ago, the snake had legs — four proud, dancing legs he used to boast, mock, and strut through the forest. But pride has a price, and the Creator was watching…

In this African pourquoi tale, we uncover the mystery behind the snake’s slithering ways — and the lesson in humility he learned the hard way.

🔥 This is not just a bedtime story — it’s a soft-spoken, immersive narration woven in the rhythm of ancestral storytelling.

Perfect for:
– Listeners seeking calm, meaningful stories
– Bedtime rituals and family listening
– Fans of African folklore, origin myths, and animal tales
