The King went to see Agya Atta, the oldest man in Ankonam, as there was seven Princes who had come to ask for his daughters hand in marriage. Agya Atta smiled and asked him if he believed in magic. The King was suprised by this question, but answered with a yes. Agya Atta told the King to find six animals and put them in the princess' room through out the night. The animals were pig, hen, goat, sheep, dog and cat. So the King thanked him and went back to the palace.

King Antoa welcomed the delegation, called for his daughter Ankonam to present herself to the guests. Afrakomah appeared in a colorful african wear. She was just breathtakingly beautiful. You could see admiration on the faces of everyone gathered there. King Antoa looked at her daughter with pride and wished her mother was there to witness this day. A tear escaped his eye when the thought of his late wife, crossed his mind. Afrakomah, came to sit by his father.

King Antoa told the delegations to go home and leave the Princes. He numbered the Princes, and asked each one to come and see him on a day, starting from the next day. They all thanked him and left. That night, he put all seven animals in the a room with Afrakomah. Initially, Afrakoma was afraid but he got used to it. She had a good night, woke up the next morning to find her clones. All six animals had become like her.

She got scared, went to report it to her father and all of them followed her. Her father couldn't identify who was her daughter until he started asking them questions. He was terrified and asked himself what he has done. He immediately went to see Agya Atta and ask him what he had done. He just smiled and told the King to marry off each version of one Afrakomah to one Prince. He then cautioned him to ensure that each Prince should believe he has married Afrakomah. He is not to mention to anyone that there's more than one Afrakomah.
