WHO ARE WE

We are Selam and Andiy. After Natnael passed away we wanted to continue his task of teaching children about their country of origin and helping families to find their stories.
This blog is to teach the children that go abroad something about their birth country and to give to the adoptive parents a way to search the biological family of their child.

Is important what you tell your children about themselves.

THE LEGEND OF THE QUEEN OF SABA

Once upon a time there was a queen called Makeda, here in Ethiopia is considered the queen of Saba that is on the Bible. The legend says that she was listening about a very wise king called Solomon. She listen so much things about him that she wanted to meet him once. She organised a trip with her servants and trusted people to go to Solomon country.

When she was there She could saw how great was Solomon's kingdom and how wise he was. When she was going to go Solomon had an idea, he made prepare very salty and spicy food for her and her people for dinner. After the dinner it was so late and he invited her to sleep in his palace. At that time she was afraid and she ask him not to touch anything that belongs to her, and the wise king asked her not to touch anything of the palace. When they were sleeping, Makeda was feeling thirsty because of the prepared food and she wanted water to drink, but when she drink the water the king comes and told her that she had touch something of the palace and as she has break the rule he can do so and asked her to sleep with him.

After Makeda went back to her country and after nine months gave birth a child called Menelik, and this child become the firs king of the solomonic dynasty that have been ruling Ethiopia until Haile Sellassie.

From my point of view is just a legend, but many countries' history start from a legend and is not bad.
