The king of Osama needs an heir to his throne, but none of his many wives has been able to have a baby. A native doctor hides a seed inside the wives' pottage and promises the king an heir from the one who eats the seed. But one of the wives, Omonu, misses the meal. When she returns to discover the soup is all gone, she is distraught and eats the bits that have fallen onto the ground.

Find out how Omonu's leftovers will forever change her life, the king's lineage, and the state of the entire kingdom.
