This is the story of a certain man who married a girl and always her plenty of milk so that she thought he must have many cows. But this was not so. This is what he did.

Then having plenty of milk in his pot he would turn back a man and bring home the milk. His wife became suspicious as she never saw any cattle so she called her younger sister to come help her so;ve the mystery. She watched her sister's husband fro a distance. Saw him turn into a hyena, get the milk and come back with it. So she sang this lament and this manner she told all the people what had happened, that her elder sister had married a wizard.
