This Mjiri dance is danced by young girls on moonlight nights after supper. This is a Chewa version of a universal truth -- 'Feed the brute.''

Sikusinja was a rich man who was killed by his brother Gwenembe. A bird saw him do it and flew to the village to tell everyone what had happened. Through his singing the people understood what had happened. Gwenembe was a poor man who coveted his brothers belongings, and that is why he killed him. The bird when singing said: "Don't wonder -- I saw Gwenembe killing Sikusinja and all the things he took." Eventually Gwenembe was taken to Kachere for judgement and he was put to death. It is a story with a moral. 'Be sure your sins will find you out!' The bird witness is a constant African image. "Sikusinja anali munthu olemela Iye anapha m'bale wace Gwenembe Mbalame inali Kuona." "Sikusinja was a rich man He was killed by his brother Gwenembe. The bird saw him do it." The accompaniment of a guitar in this kind of story is unusual and a recent inovation only.
