- Description: Long ago, there was a widow with one small daughter. Every day the mother used to go out collecting wild vegetables. One day when she came back home she found that several of her corn cobs hanging up in the hut were bare of corn and she asked the child how this had happened. She said 'Mother while you were away a little animal came here, danced and sang and as it danced the mealies fell off their cob onto the ground and he ate them all up! The animal asked her where her father was. She said "My father is dead". "And where is your mother?" "She is out collecting green food." "What kind?" "Watercress and spinach". So the mother said "Tomorrow I will stay at home and see this little animal." The animal came again and did the very same thing and she was astonished at what she saw. Story song, with 2 rattles.
