From Acc reg:
Assigi and Arawan were sons of the Oba of Benin. They were continually set tasks to determine which one was the eldest. Arawan was a giant and could have always won by his strength but Assigi won by his wits. Arawan left double foot prints so that no-one could tell which way he had gone but he was so stupid that he always wore a bell, so that he could be heard coming. The quick wits of Assigi are symbolised by his double head. In one of their contests, they had to leap a river. Arawan jumped it easily but Assigi clung to his robe and reached the other side first.
