“In the beginning, we convinced him to eat it, and when he ate it until it was left with two fingers, his grandmother asked him, “So you ate this plantain,’ then he started crying again.”
“In an effort to make him stop crying, Nana (his grandmother) started singing a peculiar song for him, and then the laughter came in during the process till it stopped,” Rosina added.
