Story with Fish Puppet at Festival sur le Niger

            This Festival is held in the town of Segou, on the banks of the River Niger.  The people at the top are on the Quay watching this mythical tale involving a large fish puppet (inside of which is a man who moves the fish by crawling along on his knees).  The story is told partly in song by the women to the left of the Fish (in white 'T' shirts) who are clapping and singing.  Although it is a partly serious tale about caring for the fish in the river, it is also great fun and the audience enjoy it greatly.
