The story
The Bride at the Well. Abraham is very old. He sends his oldest servant to his own country, to find a wife for his son Isaac. The servant sets out with ten camels. When he reaches a well, he prays: may the young woman who gives him a drink, and waters his camels too, be the one God has chosen. Rebekah comes, with her jar on her shoulder. “Drink, my lord. I will draw water for your camels too.” She belongs to Abraham’s family. “Will you go with this man?” “I will go.” Grandma Adjoua tells this story to Kofi, who thought his calabash of water was very heavy.
