- Description: There was once a child who was sent to bring food to her father in his hut. She asked to come in and he first asked her what relish she had brought; she told him vegetables but she was sent back again to teh kitchen. Each time she came with vegetables she was sent away until the relish provided was meat. He did not want beans and vegetables, only meat-the greedy creature! "Open for me, Ha-he! Open, open ndera ndera As you say, open for me, what have you brought? I have brought porridge. What is the relish? The relish is beans. If the relish is beans, go and eat with your mother! The relish is vegetables. Go and eat with your mother. The relish is meat! Come inside, come inside." Story song
