Aku looked at her fufu. She looked at her soup. Then she looked at her meat. She put her plate down angrily and cried. Mother asked, "Aku, what is wrong with you?" "My meat is the smallest," Aku cried. "But you are the youngest," mother said. Aku cried harder. She threw herself on the ground. Mother did not want Aku to cry. She called loudly, "Abena, Ajua, Akwasi, bring your food quickly!" The children brought their food. "Now Aku, pick the meat you like," mother said. Aku smiled happily. She looked hard at Akwasi's meat and thought, "Akwasi's meat is big." She looked hard at Ajua's meat, and thought, "Ajua's meat is bigger." She looked hard at Abena's meat. Abena's meat was the biggest. She said to mother, "I want Abena's meat." "Abena, give your meat to Aku and take hers," mother said. Abena was unhappy. But she did not want to disobey mother. So, she gave her meat to Aku. "Mmmm, this meat will be sweet," Aku said. She sat on a stool and ate happily.
