Description: "Mo leseng e epe thakadu magogwe Magogwe ntshi di a tsena. Mothootsile leshoko He mothgatla tle serumpu." "Let the honey bear dig out the ant bear! Honey bear, look out for the flies, They're getting into the honey!" A woman crept about on the ground with her face in a large pot and her arms stretched out before her, grunting into the pot. This was meant to be in imitation of a honey bear. This is one of the games played in the evening.
