Ngoza (The disobedient girl)

Description / content note
-
A man had a disobedient child named Ngonza, who would not do the work her father or mother gave her to do. The mother put her into a mortar and pounded her into powder and then threw her away. She was carried away to the lake by the rain. Ngoza's younger sister went to the lake side together with other children. All the others picked up their pots but Ngoza's sister could not and sang her song, crying for Ngoza to come and help her. Ngoza, having been made whole again by a crocodile to be his wife, came out of the water to help her sister. The village people then came to catch Ngoza and took her home, but the crocodile dug a hole from the water underground all the way to the village and took Ngoza back again. Story song (Nthanu).
