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.
