  • Description: Recorded in a Gcaleka hut. Most huts have one small window, about the size of a ship's porthole, but this had none. There was once a frog who swallowed a baby and took it down to the river.- It gave the baby to another frog, who in turn swallowed it. The second frog took the baby back to its village. It met some boys on the way to whom it explained what it was going to do. So it gave back the baby and the people gave it a cow. The next morning it went back and asked for another cow which the people gave. But when it asked for a third cow on the following morning the people grew hungry and killed it. The name of the headman at whose kraal we recorded was KRIKRI ZWELILLUNGILE HLOKOMILE. Although the story-teller sang a song during the course of the story, the others did not sing a refrain, which is commonly the African practice. A story.
