Engaging African Folktale for YouTube Channel

I tried the prompt on my own, using my own ideas of a wicked prince as the title. My audience was culture lovers and epic fanatics, and this was the desired output.
Once upon a time, in a kingdom nestled amidst rolling hills and ancient baobab trees, there lived a prince named Kofi. Unlike his ancestors known for their kindness and wisdom, Prince Kofi was consumed by greed and envy. His heart, once pure like the rivers that flowed through the land, turned as dark as the night sky.
One fateful day, a wise old storyteller arrived at the royal court. He carried with him a treasure trove of tales passed down through generations. The king, eager to showcase the richness of his kingdom's traditions, invited the storyteller to weave his magic before the royal court.
As the storyteller's words danced in the air, the courtiers listened with rapt attention. But Prince Kofi, unable to appreciate the beauty of the stories, scoffed at the old man's tales. "What use are these old stories?" he sneered. "They hold no value in today's world of wealth and power."
The storyteller, undeterred by the prince's arrogance, smiled and nodded. "Ah, but young prince, these tales carry the wisdom of ages past. They hold secrets that even the wealthiest cannot buy."
Intrigued by the challenge, Prince Kofi demanded a story that would impress him, one that spoke of riches beyond measure and power unmatched. The storyteller obliged with a tale of a cunning merchant who sought to outsmart fate itself.
In the story, the merchant, blinded by his desire for gold and glory, made deals with dark forces. He amassed wealth beyond imagination but lost his soul in the process. In the end, it was not gold or power that brought him happiness but the simple joys of kindness and compassion.
As the tale unfolded, Prince Kofi's expression changed from mockery to contemplation. He saw glimpses of his own reflection in the merchant's journey, realizing the emptiness of his pursuit of wealth and status.
When the story ended, the court fell silent, waiting for the prince's response. Slowly, Prince Kofi stood up, his eyes shimmering with newfound understanding. "I have been a fool," he admitted, "chasing after shadows while neglecting the light within."
From that day on, Prince Kofi dedicated himself to learning from the ancient tales. He became a champion of the kingdom's traditions, using his influence to preserve and honor the wisdom of African folklore.
And so, the storyteller's visit not only enriched the royal court but also transformed a once wicked prince into a beacon of wisdom and humility, reminding all who listened that true riches lie not in gold or power but in the timeless lessons of the heart.
