There were once two brothers who were both herdboys. The elder incited the younger to fight him. While they were fighting the elder brother tired and the younger brother beat him. So the elder ran away leaving the younger to bring home the cattle. The younger brother thought that their fight was over. But at midnight when he was already in bead he heard a knock at the door and found his elder brother standing there. 'What do you want' 'I'd like to fight you again' he replied. So they set to. Again the elder brother was defeated and during the fight they broke the windows and furniture. Early in the morning the elder brother returned and found the younger eating mealies, and the younger never suspected that the elder was eager to fight a third time. He offered the elder some mealies but he said he was still dissatisfied with the result of the fight. So they fought again a third time and again and again for six matches, until the younger decided he must leave that village for good. So he left his home and that was the end of the story.

Once upon a time there was a chief who had a dog and the dog was about to have some puppies. But instead of puppies it bore a child - a girl - She was very disobedient and insisted upon finding and eating bones. Now when she was full grown, she was about to marry a chief's son. On the day she was going to marry there was a big party. People were warned not to throw the bones on the floor because people might walk on them. But in fact the chief was afraid his daughter would pick them up and revert to being a dog. But the people did not pay attention. Then the girl began to pick up the bones and they all called out 'Child of a dog, child of a dog'. So you see, there is nothing you can hide in the long run.
