- Description: This is the song taken from the story about a father who went out hunting, could find no buck and killed his child instead in the forest. But a bird that had seen what he did, sang that it was going to tell the people. So he killed the bird too, but hardly had he gone a few steps when there it was again. Again he killed it and again there it was, and so in the end the bird told the people. It is the parable of a guilty conscience. The reason why he killed his child, they said, was because he had gone out hunting and was unsuccessful and was so ashamed that he killed his child in the place of a buck. A very gruesome story!

- Description: This is the song from a story about a woman and her child who ere lost in the forest. Suddenly the child saw a coconut palm and asked its mother what the tree was. She answered: "Don't be afraid, my child, that is a sign we shall find our way home. It is significant that David Livingstone in one of his journals describes the impression that the palm tree was for him "A hieroglyph that spells 'far from home'." A possible explanation of this remark by the mother is that the palm trees grow mostly along the rivers, and once at the river she would be able to regain her sense of direction. This was recorded with heavy rain pouring down outside the Musaliili Hall, hence the background noise. Story song
