  • Description: It was a time of famine and the chief had collected a heap of flying ants which were put out to dry on a rock. He ordered the people to look after this precious food. The people told him that a small buck came and took the ants. So the chief went down to see for himself. While he was there the small buck came along and sang to the chief at the rock, eating up the ants as he sang. The people were so delighted and enchanted that they sang the chorus for the buck while he ate up the ants in front of their eyes until all the ants were finished. Story song, with 2 rattles.
