So the chief received back all his wealth and property, and he lived in happiness and prosperity, he and his brother, while the woman became his slave.

PAKA THE CAT
THIS is the story of Paka the cat.
If there are three or four men walking along and only one woman, the cat will turn aside from the men and follow the woman.
Now the reason for this is the story I am telling you.
In the beginning Paka sat in the bush, till one day she felt the pain of hunger.
So she came down to the shore, and there she met a serval, who was hunting the crabs of the shore. So Paka went up to the serval and said, "Good morning."
