It is midnight and the little village of Awisa, nestled among tall forest trees, is fast asleep. From the neighbouring villages Adu hears the barking of dogs. While asleep he has a dream. He finds himself in the forest all alone. Then a big leopard appear. He then struggles with the leapard. The next morning he tells his parent about it. His mother tries to allay his fears but his father agya is worried. He does not like the idea of a leapard chasing his son in a dream, because that particular animal is a family totem and a family totem should not be seeking to kill a family member. He decides to see yaro for spritual assistance.
