Cow Pea & Sweet Potato Chat.

Have you tried this Cow Peas and Sweet Potato Chat?

These are the seasonal pods and root. It is full of minerals and vitamins in this winter season. 

Let me tell a story of the bear and & fox story here .

Once the fox and bear lived as friends. They decided to grow something together.  Beore sowing the seeds the cunning fox told the bear that it will take all the things which grows on the soil and the roots can be taken by bear. Without thinking the bear agreed. The fox sowed  some grains like sorgum and the croop which grew above the soil was taken by fox.

The bear has to take the roots and it felt very bad.

Next time when sowing the cunning fox told the bear that last time it has taken the yield which grew above the soil and this time it is bear's turn to take this yield which grows above the soil.

The bear felt its ok. But again the fox sowed " Sweet Potato" and when it grew it took all the roots that is sweet potato and the bear ate only the leaves which grew above the soil.

This time the bear understood that  fox it not the right person to be friend with and it went away .

The moral of the story is " Do not make friends with evil minded people".
