- Description: There were two men who were friends, one was a Yao and the other was a Chewa. The Chewa invited the Yao to his house and he found them at lunch where they had pork to eat. "We do not eat pork" the Yao said "so when you invite me you should not offer me pork". Now the Yao invited the Chewa, and to his surprise the Chewa found the Yao eating pork and dancing. The Yao told the Chewa to listen to the kind of music the Yao themselves sang in order to divert his friend's attention from the mean. But the Chewa said to the Yao, "You cannot deceive us any longer. We now know you do take this kind of meat, so do not refuse my pork in the future." The Yao came under the direct influence of the Arab traders and most of them are Mohammedans, hence the taboo on eating pork. Nthano story with clapping.
