00:00But then, something unexpected happened.
00:04One of the girls at the river playfully splashed water on Mira.
00:09Right away, Mira started to change.
00:12Her skin began to look like fish scales, and she was turning into a fish.
00:17Once upon a time in a serene African village, there lived a woman named Nia and her husband.
00:24They had been married for many years, yet they were childless.
00:28Nia had conceived several times, but each pregnancy ended in miscarriage just after
00:34a few weeks.
00:36The husband's family suggested he marry another woman, believing Nia to be a witch who used
00:43her miscarriages for witchcraft rituals.
00:47However, her husband deeply loved her and remained confident in his belief that one
00:54day Nia would bear him a child.
00:57After many years, Nia became pregnant again.
01:00The villagers, skeptical based on past events, anticipated another miscarriage.
01:07They said, this is how she always gets pregnant, but just after a few weeks, she would use
01:13it for ritual.
01:15But against all odds, Nia carried the pregnancy beyond 9 months, and to the villagers' astonishment,
01:23she gave birth to twins, two beautiful girls named Mira and Nana.
01:29This was an unprecedented event in the village, as twins had never been born there before.
01:35The village rejoiced at Nia's blessing.
01:38People from all around came to her house, showering her with gifts, for twins were considered
01:44a great blessing.
01:46As Mira and Nana grew, they became beloved figures in the village.
01:51Men and women would visit just to spend time with them, some even taking them out to treat
01:57them with gifts, and then returning them safely.
02:01The twins were like rays of sunshine, adored by everyone in the village.
02:07Mira and Nana, the twins, grew up, and their charm was like a spell on the villagers.
02:14Everyone loved them.
02:16But one day, something strange happened that showed the villagers another side of these twins.
02:23Amanda, a well-known trader in the village, often took the twins with her.
02:29One day, she took them to the market.
02:31Unaware to Amanda, Mira and Nana started eating her food.
02:37Amanda, furious, scolded and beat them, but the twins, instead of crying, just laughed.
02:44They told Amanda that the marks from the beating would appear on her own daughter when
02:50she returned home, but Amanda dismissed their words as mere child's talk.
02:56But when Amanda got home, she was shocked.
02:59Her daughter was there, crying, with marks on her back, exactly where Amanda had beaten
03:06the twins.
03:07She couldn't understand how this happened.
03:10Amanda told the villagers about it, but nobody believed her.
03:14They thought maybe she was dreaming or making it up.
03:18But this incident changed how the village saw the twins.
03:22The more Mira and Nana grew, the more mysterious they became.
03:27Their ability to transfer pain to others sowed a mix of fear and awe in the hearts of the villagers.
03:35The twins, once seen as a blessing, were now also viewed with caution, their powers
03:42a source of wonder and concern.
03:45As Mira and Nana, the twins grew, their mysterious powers became more noticeable.
03:51One day, they accidentally crossed paths with a feared old woman in the village, known for
03:57her harshness and quick temper.
04:00This encounter revealed yet another astonishing aspect of the twins' abilities.
04:06While playing, the twins accidentally knocked over the old woman's cooking pot, spilling
04:12the porridge she was cooking.
04:15Knowing how wicked and dangerous the old woman was, they immediately apologized.
04:21They tried to explain it was a mistake, but the old woman, enraged, started to curse them
04:28and even made them kneel down, holding heavy stones as punishment.
04:33The twins, distressed with the punishment, despite their apology, uttered a chilling
04:40curse of their own on the old woman.
04:43They declared that whenever the old woman tried to enter her hut, it would keep moving
04:49further away, always out of reach.
04:52The old woman, dismissing their words as mere childish threats just like Amanda did,
04:58soon discovered the terrifying truth.
05:02As she attempted to enter her hut, it seemed to move further away, no matter how much she
05:08walked towards it.
05:10She walked and walked and walked, but her door kept getting a step further.
05:17Exhausted and frightened, she begged the twins for forgiveness.
05:22The villagers who had gathered around were astounded.
05:26The same woman who had instilled fear in them for years was now pleading with the young
05:32twins.
05:34This event significantly altered the villagers' perception of Mira and Nana.
05:39The twins, once adored for their charm, were now both revered and feared for their powers.
05:46They had made the fearsome old woman beg for mercy, something no one in the village had
05:52ever imagined possible.
05:55The twins had become powerful figures, respected and somewhat feared in the hearts of the villagers.
06:02As Mira and Nana, the twins, got older, things in the village started to change for them.
06:10The special powers that once made everyone love and pay attention to them now made people
06:16scared.
06:18The villagers who used to be charmed by the twins now kept away from them because they
06:23were afraid of what the twins could do.
06:26This fear changed how people acted around Mira and Nana.
06:31Even the young men in the village, who might have liked to be their friends or more, didn't
06:37want to get close to them anymore.
06:40Being near the twins and their strange powers was too scary for them.
06:44So Mira and Nana started to feel alone.
06:48Their powers, which were amazing, made it hard for them to make friends or be close
06:53to anyone.
06:55Feeling lonely and wanting to be just like other young people in the village, Mira and
07:01Nana wished they could play, laugh and make friends without making others scared.
07:08They wanted a normal life, just like everyone else.
07:13This wish made them think about breaking one important rule their mother had always
07:19told them, never to go near the river.
07:22Their mom was always very serious about this rule, but she never told them why.
07:28Being curious and wanting to change their lonely life, Mira and Nana decided to go to
07:34the river, a place they had always been told to avoid.
07:40This choice, made because they wanted to escape their loneliness, was the beginning
07:45of a big change in their lives.
07:48Mira and Nana, excited for an adventure and wanting to fit in, made their way to the river.
07:55The river was always busy with people washing, swimming and having fun in the cool water.
08:03The twins wanted to be a part of this, to play and be like the other villagers, without
08:09worries or fears.
08:11At first, the presence of the twins caused fear and confusion.
08:16People began to leave, packing up their belongings and quickly moving away from the water.
08:22The twins, however, called out to them, pleading for a chance to be seen as just another part
08:29of the community.
08:31They assured everyone that they meant no harm.
08:35They only wanted to play and share in the joy of the river.
08:39Slowly, some people decided to stay.
08:43They were careful at first, but then things started to feel normal again.
08:47The twins were laughing and playing with the others, and it looked like their dream of
08:51being just like everyone else was coming true.
08:55But then, something unexpected happened.
08:59One of the girls at the river playfully splashed water on Mira.
09:04Right away, Mira started to change.
09:07Her skin began to look like fish scales, and she was turning into a fish.
09:12Nana, trying to help her sister, also touched the water and started changing too.
09:19Everyone was scared and didn't know what to do.
09:21They ran to get Nia, the twins' mother.
09:25When Nia came, she saw her daughters turning into river creatures.
09:29She was heartbroken, crying as she watched this strange thing happening to her daughters.
09:36Her sadness filled the air by the river, showing how helpless she felt as her daughters changed
09:42in a way no one could understand.
09:45When Mira and Nana changed at the river, everyone in the village was shocked and confused.
09:51In all this trouble, the village priest came up with a big secret about the twins.
09:56He said that Mira and Nana were actually children of the river goddess.
10:01This was a secret Nia, their mother, had kept to herself because she was so scared.
10:07Nia then told everyone the truth.
10:10She was so afraid of losing her husband and her place in the village that she had gone
10:16to see an herbalist a long time ago.
10:19The herbalist asked the river goddess to give Nia children.
10:23But there was one big rule, the children must never touch the river or they will go back
10:29to the river goddess.
10:31There was no way to change the twins back and now everyone knew they belonged to the
10:36river goddess.
10:38But there's more to the story.
10:40Nia, desperate to help her daughters, went to find the herbalist who had helped her before.
10:47But when she got to the herbalist's place, she found out he had died a few years ago.
10:53There was no other way to help the twins.
10:55With no other way, the village had to make a very sad choice.
11:00With lots of crying and praying, they took Mira and Nana back to the river, giving them
11:06back to the goddess.
11:08But then something amazing happened.
11:11The river took Mira and made her one of its own.
11:16But it sent Nana back to land as a human again.
11:20Everyone was amazed to see the power and kindness of the river goddess.
11:25Nia and Nana hugged each other on the riverbank, both happy and sad.
11:30They had gone through so much.
11:32They had to learn how to live with missing Mira, who was now part of the river, and remember
11:38everything that had happened.
11:41Nia learned a big lesson, to always wait for God's time because it is always the best.
11:47You see, the story of Mira and Nana, the twins' people once called evil, turned into a story
11:54about love, trust, and accepting things in the village.
11:59It showed that sometimes the best things happen in ways you don't expect and that life's mysteries
12:07can teach important lessons.
12:10Nia and Nana, their lives changed by what they went through, found peace and learned
12:15to be thankful every day.
12:18They always felt a special connection to the river, which had given them so much and also
12:23taken away.
