ba.
They gather, saying: "Why didst thou send for us?" He says: "Let us
consult medicine, that we get health."

The sun is broken down. They begin the drums outside with the songs.
Mr. Leopard himself is beating the drum; he is saying, saying:

"O Antelope! O Deer!
Your friend is sick;
Do not shun him!
O Antelope! O Deer!
Your friend is sick;
Do not shun him!
O Antelope! O Deer!
Your friend is sick;
Do not shun him'"

Deer says: "Chief, the drum, how art thou playing it? Bring it here;
that I play it." Mr. Leopard gives him it. Deer takes the drum, says:

"Not sickness;
Wiliness holds thee
Not sickness;
Wiliness holds thee!
Not sickness;
Wiliness holds thee!"

Mr. Leopard stood up from ground, said: "Thou, Deer, knowest not how to
play the drum."

The animals all then ran away, saying, "Mr. Leopard has a scheme to
catch us."

Elephant and Frog

I often tell of Mr. Elephant and Mr. Frog, who were courting at one
house.

One day Mr. Frog spake to the sweetheart of Mr. Elephant, saying: "Mr.
Elephant is my horse." Mr. Elephant, when he came at night, then the

When a while passed, he told Mr. Elephant: "Grandfather, I am going to
fall. Let me seek small cords to bind thee in mouth." Mr. Elephant
consents. Mr. Frog then does what he has asked.

When passed a little while, he told again Mr. Elephant, saying: "Let me
seek a green twig to fan the mosquitoes off thee." Mr. Elephant says:
"Go." He then fetches the twig.

Then, when they were about to arrive, the girls saw them, and they went
to meet them with shouting, saying: "Thou, Mr. Elephant, art the horse
indeed of Mr. Frog!"

Dog and the Kingship

Mr. Dog, they wanted to invest him with the kingship. They sought all
the things of royalty: the cap, the sceptre, the rings, the skin of
mulkaka. The things are complete; they say: "The day has come to
install."

The headmen all came in full; they sent for the players of drum and
marimba; they have com
