Now the Cricket begins to give notice as soon as it is evening and does not keep silence in his hole until the morning comes; this is its employment. The Merchant has no farm and does not do any work, but constantly goes to market; this is its employment, given to it by the Lord. Now the little red Ants, whenever they see an Insect unwell and lying down they go and assemble themselves against that Insect, and, even if that Insect has not yet expired they finish it. This our Lord gave to the little red Ants for their employment. I have now told thee the fable of the Insects, which I have heard of Omar Pesami. This is finished. Man and Turtle Let me tell of Turtle of Koka. Man of Lubi la Suku caught a Turtle in the bush; he came with it to the village. They said: "Let us kill it!" Some people said: "How shall we kill it?" They said: "We shall cut it with hatchets." Turtle replied, saying: "Turtle of Koka, And hatchet of Koka; Hatchet not kill me a bit." The people said: "What shall we kill him with?" Some said: "We shall kill him with stones." Turtle, fear grasped him, he said: "I am going to die." He says by mouth: "Turtle of Koka, And stone of Koka; Stone will not kill me a bit." The people said: "Let us cast him into the fire!" Turtle said: "Turtle of Koka, And fire of Koka; Fire will not kill me a bit. On my back, It is like stone; Not there can Catch on fire." The people said: "We will kill him with knives." Turtle said: "Turtle of Koka, And knife of Koka; Knife will not kill me a bit." The people said: "This fellow, how shall we do? How shall we kill him?" These said: "Let us cast him into the depth of water." Turtle said: "Woe! I shall die there! How shall I do?" The people said: "We have it! We have found the way we can kill him!" They carry him; they arrive with him at the river. They cast him into the depth. Turtle dives; after a while he emerges. There he is swimming and singing: "In water, in my home! In water, in my home!" The people said: "Oh! Turtle has fooled us. We were going to kill him with hatchets; he says, 'Hatchet will not kill me a bit.' We spoke of casting him into the water; he says, 'I am going to die.' We came; we cast him into the water; but we saved him." This is what caused the Turtle to live in the water: the people were going to kill him; but he was shrewd. Nianga Dia Ngenga and Leopard Nianga Dia Ngenga takes up his gun, saying: "I will go a-hunting." He has reached the bush; he has hunted; he saw not game; he says: "I will go." When he returns home, he finds Mr. Leopard, whom they have stuck up in the fork of a tree. When he sees Nianga, he says: "Father Nianga, help me out!" Nianga says: "What has done this to thee?" He says: "Unfork me first; I shall tell thee."
