Description

Somali and English. Follow a young Ethiopian child as they gather too many lomi (lemons) and discover the truth behind the Ethiopian parable “For one person, fifty lemons is a heavy load. For fifty people, fifty lemons are adornments.” The lomi is a lucky fruit in Ethiopian culture, and yellow dots can often be seen floating in the Nile River, each one attached to a wish and thrown from a bridge into the water.
