Description / content note
-
There was once a child who was with other children and met a man who liked her. He asked the child to pull a splinter from his thumb. For that service many cattle appeared magically and the child was asked to choose one. The other children became jealous and when they passed a large hole in the ground they threw her in. There she lived with a big snake. After a while she wanted to go home again and the snake asked if he could twine himself around her. He did so and as she reached her home the snake went back to his hole. The song was sung on the way home:- "When I sing this song, you will know that I am tired and we must rest a while. Story.
