Amran iyo Abshir / retold and illustrated by Janet Curiel ; Somali translation by Mohammed Sh. Hassan & Abdullahi.

• A disappointed wife, Amran, leaves her disdainful husband, Abshir, and his village, to return to her mother, but on the way she is attacked and devoured by a lion. Soon a man, Askar, comes along who, though mauled by the lion, kills it, and finds the jewelry the woman was wearing. When he tells the men of his village his story, Abshir, who has recognized his wife's jewels, claims them, but Askar says the jewels belong to him, the one who slew the lion. The elders of the village are summoned to decide to whom the jewels rightfully belong, according to the teachings of the Holy Koran. To whom will they award the jewels? 
• Detta är folksagan om Amran och Abshir, som varit gifta i sex månader. Deras kärlek hade blomstrat likt de ljuva rosorna på våren i Hargiesa. På sistone oroade sig Amran dock för att kärleken började avta. Hon tänkte på sin mor, hur mådde hon? Vem hjälpte henne nu, när hon själv var gift? Hon hade längtat så att gifta sig med Abshir, men nu undrade hon över sin brådska. [Barnbokskatalogen]
