- Description: Although the language used is Mang'anja, the style of singing, they say comes from the Sena element in their society a great many Sena people having migrated out of the Zambezi valley into that of the Shire. Some time ago a rabbit and a man went together to get Matutungwe fruit to eat. While they were eating they saw a python and it wound itself round the man. The man begged the rabbit to go and get help. The rabbit replied, "You help yourself" because when we rabbits climb a tree we go with a knife to cut anything that entangles us. The man asked the rabbit again "Please rabbit help me". So the rabbit said, "just you sing this song and you will be free". So the man sang the song and escaped from the python. The customary reply during the story is "Go-gogodera andi sinjo." Story and song.
