Rh alone, the baboon came to her in a rage (it had been present and heard her observation about the stick, and thought she was mocking at the crookedness of its tail), and it said “Why did you curse me?” and it threw stones at her, and she ran home and told the girl of her dream and that it was coming true, and told her to escape to Qwanciqutshaa. The girl sank into the ground and came up at another place, and sank again. She sank three times and then came up and went to Qwanciqutshaa’s place. Qwanciqutshaa had killed a red rhebok and was skinning it when he saw his elands running about and wondered what had startled them. He left the meat and took the skin and went home, and asked why she came. She said she was frightened of the baboon.

And Qwanciqutshaa killed an eland, purified himself as the baboon had defiled him, and he told the girl to go home and tell the people he was alive. But the young men wanted to marry this girl, and she said, “No, I love none but Qwanciqutshaa, who saved me from the baboon.” So they hated Qwanciqutshaa; and when he had
