Ṣ’ènìyàn Ṣ’ẹranko: The Contestation of Trust Between a Hunter and Deer: in Ààlọ́ oo! 4: 4

After searching and waiting alone in the forest for several nights, lurking for a rare game to take down and take home, a wildly experienced hunter suddenly encounters a rare moment in the deep forest when he catches a Deer metamorphosing into a beautiful lady. The Deer Woman's beauty captivates him completely, and he resolves to bring her home with him. When she had gone to participate in the night market trading, the hunter stole her deerskin and held it as leverage to court her. She is trapped in human skin and cannot be a Deer again unless- The battle of courtship, the intrigues of the human kingdom, and the dynamics of envy are the subject matter of this Yorùbá folktale. Ṣ'ènìyàn-Ṣ'ẹranko is a blend of stage performance and oral literary art.
