Hlakanyana said to his companion: “Now let us eat.”
The companion of Hlakanyana answered: “I have no knife.”
Hlakanyana said: “You are just a child; I shall not lend you my knife.”
The people of that village brought millet and put before them.
Hlakanyana said to his companion: “Why do you not eat?”
He answered: “I have no spoon.”
Hlakanyana said: “You are just a child; I shall not lend you my spoon.”
So Hlakanyana had all the meat and the millet to himself.
Hlakanyana met a girl herding some goats.
He said: “Where are the boys of your village, that the goats are herded by a girl?”
