It met some boys on the way to whom it explained what it was going to do. So it gave back the baby and the people gave it a cow. The next morning it went back and asked for another cow which the people gave. But when it asked for a third cow on the following morning the people grew hungry and killed it. The name of the headman at whose kraal we recorded was KRIKRI ZWELILLUNGILE HLOKOMILE. Although the story-teller sang a song during the course of the story, the others did not sing a refrain, which is commonly the African practice. A story.
