Sham S. Misri
Among the Zulu people of South Africa, tales were told of
men who suddenly heard a shrill voice speaking to them from the ground. Looking
down, the man would see a tiny , tiny figure standing near his feet and would
know he had met one of the Abatwa People.
The Abatwa were the smallest people in the world. They slept
in anthills and walked among blades of grass as full sized people walk among
trees in a forest. But they were very self conscious about their size, and if a
man met an Abatwa, he had to be very careful to pretend the little creature was
a full sized person. Otherwise, the Abatwa would become enraged and shoot at
the man with tiny poisoned arrows!
