– I want well, to make you happy, because my spade is of excellent quality and is definitely more expensive than a regular cock.
– Well, I consent to this sacrifice. Here's the basket that contains my cock.
– And here's the basket that contains my spade.
And, enchanted by what they believed to be a good deal, they went in haste, each.
Mahaka, barely arrived home, opened the basket, but he found that the Earth's.
During this time, Kotofetsy dispatched of the lid, welcoming to have been able to get a nice cock so good account, but a horrible Crow springs from the basket and fled in croaking.
Another time, on the occasion of the funeral of a wealthy owner, It distributed some victuals to the entire village, but the two accomplices , having arrived late, not received for both, only a single hen.
Naturally, They claimed each whole poultry and, Finally, It was decided that it would be up to that which would have been the most beautiful dream in the night.
The next morning, Kotofetsy said :
– No one has ever done, certainly, a beautiful dream as mine... ah ! It was wonderful ! Figure you that I went to heaven. It was really wonderful to sail well in the middle of the clouds and I rode, I always rode...
– Well, Figure you, interrupted Mahaka, When I saw you climb so high, I thought that you would never back down, then I ate the chicken...
Some time after, they met, one from the North and the other South.
– Ah ! If you knew what is happening in the South, cried Mahaka. Everything is in fire and blood. The heaven and Earth are upset, trees fall alone in the forest, the plain tremble, then I ran far to go north. But since you come, What is going on ?
– It's terrible to the North, the people met for a grand Kabary and we decided to cut the neck of all liars, then I quickly fled, and I said to myself : provided that Mahaka does not go....
It came to pass that the mother of Mahaka died, But despite the many theft he committed, Mahaka was not wealthy and had no oxen. Gold, It is essential, to celebrate dignity funeral, to sacrifice at least a beef.
Mahaka was never short of ideas and he found a way out of this difficult situation. He placed the body of her mother behind the door in him putting between the hand of Zhu fibers, as if she was trying to weave a mat. Then he went to join Kotofetsy.
They were met by two men who drove of oxen. The bouviers came and wanted to stop in a box to sit and cook their rice.
Mahaka offered hers and told them :
– You have to push the door, which is not closed, and enter, my mother will receive you.
This is what made the cattlemen but, When they pushed the door, the body of the old woman fell. Mahaka came uttering cries and stating that they came to kill his mother.
– Ah ! lamented... She was so perfect health when Kotofetsy and me we have left it just now. She was just doing a mat. Here you are, She still has the Zhu between fingers.
He went to complain to the head of the village :
– Since they killed , He said, they must be killed too... at least they give oxen in compensation. This condition, I want to give them life.
The head of the village found that this was quite right and the men immediately accepted the proposal because, They said : ” Life is sweet and it is better to keep it but to keep cattle.”
Mahaka was able to provide a magnificent “sikafare” guests for the funeral of his mother and person in the village, was fooled by the ruse. However, was found not at fault and each admira, on the contrary, the skill and clever genius of Mahaka.
