Final answer:
Sassouma Berete convinced Hong Pansa to try to kill Sundiata to prevent the hunter's prophecy from happening, but the plan was halted by Hong Pansa's illness. The concubine suggested that killing Sundiata would cure Hong Pansa's illness and prevent the prophecy from coming true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sassouma Berete, Sundiata's stepmother, took actions to prevent the hunter's prophecy from happening. She convinced Hong Pansa, Sundiata's father, that Sundiata's future power would result in his overthrow and bring disgrace to their family. She persuaded Hong Pansa to send assassins to kill Sundiata, but a spirit filled Hong Pansa with disease, causing him to stop the assassins. The concubine then suggested that Sundiata's death would cure Hong Pansa's disease, leading to the belief that killing Sundiata would prevent the prophecy from coming true.
