The Story of Sundiata Keita Part Two: Sundiata's Childhood Read: When Sundiata was born, he could not walk or speak for years, and many doubted his potential, "The boy who would become king was mocked by his people. 'How can this child, who cannot even stand, be our savior?' they said. But his mother, Sogolon, never lost her faith. 'Patience,' she said. 'The lion learns to walk before it roars."' One day, Sundiata rose to his feet for the first time: "Bring me the heaviest iron rod you can find," Sundiata demanded. With great effort, he pulled himself up, using the rod as his support.
