[00:00:00]Do you see the chief's wife? That's not a pregnancy. That's stolen yams under her wrapper. Mama gift. Your eyes see even what the GODS MISS.

[00:00:10]>> WAIT, NAMBDI. Before you go home, ask your brother why he was at the stream with your wife's sister at midnight.

[00:00:16]>> My wife's sister. Mama gift. Are you sure?

[00:00:19]>> Ask the moon it saw them. My mouth is just the messenger. Tell your mother the rapper she lost at the stream is currently drying behind the blacksmith's hut.

[00:00:30]>> But the blacksmith is a widowerower.

[00:00:34]>> Exactly. Tell her to go and find it before the sun sets. Why is the o title winner drinking alone today? Is it because the money for the ceremony was borrowed from a widow?

[00:00:44]>> Mama gift. Be careful with your tongue.

[00:00:48]>> I am careful. I keep it behind my teeth.

[00:00:51]Unlike your empty pockets.

[00:00:53]>> Parrot, tell us about the teacher's new bicycle.

[00:00:57]>> A new bicycle. He didn't buy it. He traded his wife's inheritance for it.

[00:01:02]Ask him why she's crying in the kitchen.

[00:01:05]>> It is a lie. It was a gift.

[00:01:09]>> A gift from the devil has a long receipt. Teacher, we are watching.

[00:01:14]That's beautiful. Lace, sister. Does your husband know you bought it with the monument for your son's school fees?

[00:01:21]How did you know? I hid the receipt in my cooking pot.

[00:01:25]>> The smoke from your kitchen tells me everything. Give me two tubers of yam and I might forget to tell the headmaster.

[00:01:32]>> Take. Take. Just keep your mouth shut.

[00:01:35]My mouth is a locked gate until someone brings a key.

[00:01:40]>> Mama gift. You are becoming richer than the chief with these gifts.

[00:01:45]>> Information is the new currency. Papa, I am just a wealthy banker.

[00:01:50]>> A banker who trades in tears.

[00:01:53]One day the interest will be too high to pay.

[00:01:56]>> Let that day worry about itself. For now, did you hear about the chief's third wife and the palace guard? They weren't just discussing palace security at midnight.

[00:02:08]>> The parrot has pecked at every house in this village. Even the king's palace is not safe. A mouth that eats everything eventually eats its own piece. We must give her a bone she cannot swallow. Let us feed her a lie about the king's hidden gold. Her greed for hot gist will lead her to the trap. Good. Make sure she's accidentally listening behind the omu bushes tonight. The king said the treasure of our ancestors is buried under the three-headed palm tree.

[00:02:39]If the parrot hears this, the whole village will be at the three-headed palm tree by morning.

[00:02:44]>> Three-headed palm tree. Gold. My mouth is watering already.

[00:02:50]Why are you fixing shoes when gold is growing under trees?

[00:02:55]>> Gold. Mama gift. Have you finally lost your mind?

[00:02:59]>> Keep your small mind. But if you want to be rich, follow the path to the three-headed palm tree tonight.

[00:03:06]Three-headed palm. Three-headed palm.

[00:03:08]Three-headed palm. Three-headed palm.

[00:03:10]Three-headed palm.

[00:03:11]>> Mama gift. Why is the village buzzing like a beehive today?

[00:03:16]>> A beehive has honey guard. And today the king's honey is about to be shared.

[00:03:23]>> What? Honey, the king IS IN A MEETING.

[00:03:26]>> TELL the king his secret has wings and I am the wind.

[00:03:32]>> The three-headed palm tree is real. Look at the size of it. IMAGINE THE TREASURES. WHAT secrets does it hold?

[00:03:38]Dig here. THE GOLD IS SHOUTING MY NAME FROM THE GROUND.

[00:03:44]>> I SEE A BOX. I SEE A WOODEN CHEST.

[00:03:47]>> OPEN IT. Let the wealth of the parrot shine.

[00:03:57]BEES. THESE ARE THE KING'S GUARD BEES.

[00:04:00]RUN.

[00:04:03]MAMA GIFT. YOU LIED TO US. YOU LED US INTO A CURSE.

[00:04:09]>> I ONLY TOLD YOU WHAT I HEARD. HELP. MY FACE IS SWELLING.

[00:04:15]>> Look at what your gossip has done to us.

[00:04:17]My face is burning BECAUSE OF YOUR BIG MOUTH.

[00:04:19]>> THE bird that fly high forgets that the ground still owns its feet. Mama gift.

[00:04:23]Your tongue has finally stung the whole village for leading my people into the forest of stings. You will pay a fine of seven goats and seven baskets of yams.

[00:04:31]>> My king, I have nothing. The gifts I received for my gist are all gone.

[00:04:37]>> Then your reputation is all you have left. And it is worth less than the dirt on my sandals.

[00:04:43]>> They hate me. All of them. But I still have my gift. My daughter is my pride.

[00:04:49]Mama gift. Why so quiet? Is the parrot's throat saw?

[00:04:55]Leave my house. Niki, I have suffered enough.

[00:05:00]Suffered? You haven't heard the latest gist. Then since you can't go out, I brought it to you. What gist? About who?

[00:05:09]Your daughter gift. She was seen at the back of the king's granary with a heavy bag of stolen grain.

[00:05:15]>> My gift? Stealing? Never. SHE'S THE MOST HONEST GIRL IN THE VILLAGE.

[00:05:21]>> That's what everyone said about your secrets, too. But the king's guards are looking for her now.

[00:05:27]>> I must tell people it's a mistake. I must go out.

[00:05:33]Have you seen my daughter? Don't believe what they say. She didn't steal the king's grain. I didn't hear anything about gift stealing until you just told me now. Mama Gift. Wait, no. I was just defending her.

[00:05:50]Did she say Gift stole the king's grain?

[00:05:53]The parrot has spoken. It must be true.

[00:05:56]No, I said she didn't. It was Neti who told me. But you always say where there is SMOKE THERE IS FIRE. You are the smoke. Mama gift. I didn't do anything.

[00:06:11]I was at the stream.

[00:06:14]Let her go. It's a lie. I am the one who heard it. BUT IT'S A LIE.

[00:06:20]>> Mama gift. You told the whole market your daughter is a thief. Do you now call yourself a liar? Mother, you told them you you told the village I am a thief.

[00:06:32]>> No, my daughter. I was trying to protect you. I was just talking.

[00:06:39]Your talking has put a rope around my neck. I wish I wasn't the daughter of a parrot.

[00:06:56]The law of our ancestors is clear. A thief who steals from the royal granary must be banished for seven seasons.

[00:07:03]>> Wait, look at the grain. IT IS NOT EVEN GRAIN.

[00:07:08]>> I was told she stole grain, but this is sand. SOMEONE IS PLAYING A GAME WITH MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE.

[00:07:15]>> KETTY, YOU TOLD ME SHE STOLE. YOU GAVE ME THE HOT GIST.

[00:07:20]I I just wanted you to feel how we felt when you told everyone my husband was a data. I didn't think the king would get involved.

[00:07:27]>> So, you planted a false secret in the house of a gossip. You used the parrot to destroy the parrot.

[00:07:33]>> Forgive me. I only wanted her to shut her mouth for once.

[00:07:39]>> Both of you have poisoned this village.

[00:07:41]Ketchi, you will pay the fine. But mama gift. Your punishment is not a fine. It is the silence you should have kept long ago.

[00:07:51]>> My daughter, can you ever look at me without seeing a traitor?

[00:07:56]I see my mother. But I will never tell you a secret again. Your ears are a marketplace and I am not for sale.

[00:08:03]>> For the first time, Mama G stood alone in the village square. No whispers, no laughter, only regrets. The same mouth that carried everybody's secret had finally broken her own home. Slowly, she picked up a piece of charcoal from the dying fire. And with trembling hands, she drew a thick black line across her lips, a promise to never become the village parrot again.

[00:08:27]And so, gossip does not need truth to destroy a life. It only needs a careless mouth. Before you repeat a story, make sure you know the full truth. Because words can wound deeper than weapons. Not every secret is your business. And not every rumor deserves your voice. Mind your life, protect your peace, and guard your thong. Because once words leave your mouth, you may never call them back. Thank you for watching. If this story touches something today, don't forget to like, share, comment, and subscribe.
