Bintoto Book One English Translation

Bintoto And The Mango Farm

They entered the farm carefully, unable to see clearly in front of them because their minds
were fully focused on mangoes.

They stopped under a mango tree that was full of ripe mangoes and low enough for them to
reach. Bintoto quickly climbed the tree and told Lami to spread her hijab so they could
gather the mangoes inside it.

Lami collected the hijab and said:

“Please, Bintoto, pick the ripe ones.”

Bintoto glared at her and warned her not to disturb her, threatening to beat her if she
talked too much.

Lami quickly held her mouth and became silent because she knew Bintoto’s character very
well. Bintoto could beat her as much as she liked and still refuse to give her any mango.

Bintoto began throwing mangoes down while Lami gathered them into the hijab.

The Farm Owner Sees Them

The owner of the farm was under the tree. At first, he could not move because he wondered
whether the people above him were human beings or children of jinn.

Bintoto’s appearance frightened him. She was dark, rough, dirty, and not considered among
the beautiful girls of the village. Her face had little softness, and because she hardly
bathed, her rough appearance became even stronger.

Bintoto was known to avoid bathing for weeks unless her elder brother Abdurrahamanu forced
her. Whenever he told her to bathe, she would say dirt gives strength. That was why she was
as strong as a wild person.

When the farm owner became sure they were human beings, he began moving quietly to catch
them.

But Bintoto’s eyes were very sharp. She saw him quickly, jumped down from the tree, and
started running.

Lami looked at her in surprise and asked what happened.

Bintoto shouted:

“The farm owner! The farm owner is coming!”

Lami immediately ran after her, while the farm owner chased them.

The School Escape

The farm owner chased Bintoto and Lami until they reached their school. Luckily for them,
students were already returning to class.

They mixed with the students, and the farm owner could no longer identify them.

He had no choice but to return.

Inside the class, Bintoto and Lami began sharing the stolen mangoes. Bintoto quickly wore
her hijab and demanded that Lami give her some mangoes to take home to her mother.

Lami gave her many mangoes because she feared her.

Uwani and the others only watched them, swallowing saliva because they knew Bintoto would
not give them even one, especially since they had refused to join her in entering the farm.

Bintoto’s Village Life

After school closed, Bintoto walked home causing trouble along the way. She beat some
children, teased others, and continued behaving as usual until Allah took her home safely.

The house she entered was very poor and broken down. Unlike other village houses built
with red mud, theirs was surrounded with sticks and looked extremely old.

When Bintoto entered, she found her mother, Inna, removing husks from beans for someone.
The payment for such work was usually only twenty or thirty naira, and that was one of
the ways they managed to eat.

Inna heard Bintoto’s greeting and turned quickly.

“Welcome back, my last-born. I hope you did not start any fight today?”

Bintoto smiled, showing the only beautiful thing on her face: her dimples.

She said:

“No, Inna. Today I did not disturb anyone, even though Tanimu and the others tried to
provoke me.”

Inna became happy and told her to remove her school clothes and eat the warm tuwo someone
had brought earlier.

Abdurrahamanu Complains

Before Inna could say more, Abdurrahamanu entered with a greeting.

Bintoto did not answer him because she knew his character. He always complained about her
and accused her of starting fights. Sometimes, when Inna was not around, he even beat her.

Abdurrahamanu looked at her and said:

“Inna, does this girl not bathe? Since I came close, I have been smelling something sour.”

Then he shouted at Bintoto and ordered her to go and bathe, warning that if he returned
and she had not bathed, he would beat her.

Bintoto grumbled as she went to fetch warm water. She said to herself that bathing was not
necessary and that dirt gives strength.

Bintoto Refuses To Bathe Properly

Bintoto went into the bathroom but did not really bathe. She sat there talking to herself,
asking what the use of bathing was and why people kept forcing her.

After almost an hour, she only poured water on her body without properly washing herself.

When she came out, Inna and Abdurrahamanu were sitting outside talking.

As Bintoto passed, Abdurrahamanu quickly held his nose because of the strong smell that
followed her.

Inna glared at him, and he quickly removed his hand, pretending nothing had happened.

Bintoto Goes To The Playground

Bintoto changed into mismatched old clothes and told Inna she was going to the village
playground.

Inna told her to return safely and warned her not to start fights.

Bintoto went out and soon reached a place where some children were wrestling.

She stood behind them, watching. The fight had taken all their attention, so they did not
notice her.

One boy named Mahamudu was beating a younger boy and boasting that he would punish him.
Seeing this, Bintoto became angry. Her body began shaking with excitement.

Before anyone could stop her, she grabbed Mahamudu by the neck and said:

“So you have a younger brother, but this boy has nobody to defend him?”

Mahamudu became afraid because everyone knew Bintoto’s strength.

She beat him and threw him on the ground with such force that he stopped moving.

The children ran away shouting:

“Bintoto has killed Mahamudu!”

Prince Maleek In Germany

In another part of the story, the setting moved to Germany.

A royal palace appeared, filled with people and servants. A fair-skinned elderly queen sat
in royal clothing covered with gold and precious decorations. Servants stood with beautiful
fans while important people bowed before her.

She rose with authority and entered a private room.

A woman handed her a phone, and the queen answered with joy.

“My son.”

She told him they had been waiting for his arrival and asked where he was.

The prince answered in a tired and uninterested voice.

When she called him Prince Maleek and asked whether he was on the way, he finally said:

“I am not, Mom.”

She ended the call in disappointment.

Prince Maleek continued living recklessly, ignoring his mother’s expectations and acting
as someone who cared more about pleasure than responsibility.

Bintoto Returns Home

Bintoto and her friends later returned home, breathing heavily after running. Inna asked
where they had been and why they were panting like that.

Uwani quickly lied and said they had not started any fight; they only ran so they could
return home quickly.

Inna believed them and told Bintoto to prepare and go to Kuluwa’s house to plait her hair.

Inna removed thirty naira from where she had tied money at the edge of her wrapper and
gave it to Bintoto.

Bintoto collected it and went out.

The Ice Cream Seller

On her way to the hairdresser’s place, Bintoto met an ice cream seller surrounded by
children.

The man smiled at her and gave her some.

Because Bintoto loved food, she collected it quickly and continued walking. Before reaching
Kuluwa’s house, she had already finished eating everything.

The Mystery In Bintoto’s Hair

Kuluwa joked with Bintoto when she arrived, surprised to see her there.

She started plaiting Bintoto’s hair. Despite Bintoto’s dirtiness, her hair was very long,
reaching her back. It was thick, black, strong, and beautiful like the hair of Hausa-Fulani
women.

As Kuluwa parted Bintoto’s hair, she saw money hidden inside it. The money was not small;
it was in large denominations.

Kuluwa became frightened.

She asked:

“Bintoto, did your mother send you with this money?”

Bintoto said no.

Kuluwa began removing money from Bintoto’s hair and placing it on the floor, but the money
kept coming.

Out of fear, Kuluwa told Bintoto to go back home and show the money to Inna.

Inna Discovers The Secret

Bintoto returned home but did not find Inna. She went to the kitchen and began preparing
their evening food.

She cooked quickly and was almost done when Abdurrahamanu entered the kitchen.

He saw her sitting on the floor, scratching dirt from her thighs while cooking, and he
shouted:

“Bintoto! So it is dirt you have been feeding us?”

Bintoto quickly ran outside, begging him not to beat her.

Just then, Inna returned and asked what was happening.

Abdurrahamanu entered Inna’s room, while Bintoto told Inna that Kuluwa saw money in her
hair.

Inna pulled Bintoto close and opened her head covering.

Her eyes widened when she saw the money stuck inside Bintoto’s hair.

Inna began reciting prayers and crying.

Abdurrahamanu heard her and rushed out to ask what happened. When Inna showed him what
she had seen, he also became confused and frightened.

He quickly covered Bintoto’s hair again and said:

“Inna, let us hurry and take her to the imam’s house.”
