Description:Very elaborate folk-story about man-eater: A number of children have built their own house in the bush; loose their way while looking for food since the rain has destroyed their foot-tracks. They come to the house of man-eating woman and her husband. Girls carry babies and one baby ends up in the pot; others manage to escape, are rescued by an uncle coming to their help in the form of a vulture. He carries them back home on his back. The mother of the dead baby insults him because of his appearance. He is angry and lets her other child fall down from above. The child dies. Therefore her husband is angry with his wife and wants to kill her but other relatives stop him and advise him to better divorce her since her manners are too bad. Lesson to be learned according to translator: a) Children should not play far from away from their home. b) You must not insult a person who helped you even though he might look strange.
