- Description
- "Leave the dog alone, we are praising. We orphans, if collected would fill the Chief's kraal. I didn't lock the door last night and the dog ate up all my fat, all on account of your lovers." The last three lines refer to the fact that two girls were sharing the same room. One left the door open for her lovers to enter, and a dog got in and ate up all the other one's fat. Herdboy's song and step danie, with stamping of feet.
