This story captured my attention, @fibre1. I was wondering whether the religion of the gods or Christianity would win. I didn't have any particular vote, because while I was raised in a Christian household, I also love traditions, and do not like the way Christianity has forced itself on every corner of the world. So my feeling about the ending was mixed. The village became free from the gods, but in so doing they give up their rich past and their traditions, and come under the domination of the Christian church.
All that said, your story is well told, readable and interesting, and the African proverbs add both intrigue and humor.
