- The story teller is a nephew of the chief Takawarasha. One day when a hungry minstrel waswalking through the country he found a woman spreading her mealie meal in the sun and asked her for some of it. She said "I cannot do so or I will be beaten tonight", "Who will beat you?" he asked. She said "My mother", So he sang what had happened so that she would be persuaded to change her mind and give him some.
