Description / content note
-
Once there were some children who took their mother's clothes and gave them to a bird, and the bird started singing and said, "The children were playing and took their mother's clothes and gave them to me knowing nothing because I am only a bird from the bush." The father came and waited for the bird to kill it, but hearing the bird singing so prettily he forgot his anger and in fact went anf gave the bird still more clothes. This is a variation of the old theme of the enchantment of music. It perhaps does not indicate an aeshetic pleasure in the natural song of the blind but rather in the words of the song which it is supposed to have sung. Nthano story song with clapping.
