About this listen

🌍 From the heart of West Africa comes the story of Zari, a poor girl whose kindness awakens a mystical calabash — a gourd that grants food and water to those who give more than they take.

In a time of drought and silence, one child’s quiet courage sparks a village’s transformation.

Told in the warm rhythm of African oral tradition, this 10-minute story is perfect for fans of folktales, bedtime stories, ASMR narration, and moral storytelling.

🎧 For listeners of all ages who believe that kindness holds magic.
