The Story of Little Black Sambo

De: Helen Bannerman

Narrado por: Karen Challemberg

Sambo is a South Indian boy who lives with his father and mother, named Black Jumbo and Black Mumbo, respectively. While out walking, Sambo encounters four hungry tigers and surrenders his colorful new clothes, shoes, and umbrella so they will not eat him. The tigers are vain, and each thinks he is better dressed than the others. They chase each other around a tree until they are reduced to a pool of ghee (clarified butter). Sambo then recovers his clothes and collects the ghee, which his mother uses to make pancakes.

Horrible Childhood Memories

I am a 70 year old African American woman and this was my first grade reader. Imagine how humiliated I and the other black children were as the white children read this and laughed. The white teacher was amused as we bullied in class. Maybe the performer was not aware of the history of this story as she read. I can't fault her for my experience.
