I was taken into a hut and tied up. In my misery, I was asked for an Inanga zither and began to sing. I sang so well that the women and children begged for my release. I was freed but I did not know that my fellow-thieves had gone to tell my family what had happened. So whilst I was singing to all these people my relatives came to my help and my enemies spell-bound by my singing were taken unawares and thus I escaped. Legend. Recitative to instrumental accompaniment with Inanga trough zither.
