But they too let her go when she sang to them and eventually she found herself in a village and gave it to the chief and put her in a hut where she was badly bitten by insects. However she did not kill any of them, as she was a kind and gentle woman. Then the chief sent word that she must come and undergo a test. Which was to pick out her own calabash from amongst many others. As she went one of the insects said to her: "Choose that calabash you see a fly settle on." So, when she swa all the calabashes spread out before her, she waited for a fly to settle on one. It settled on the smallest and she picked it up and said: "This is mine." Whereon the chief came out of his hut and to her amazement it was her own husband who said: "Now I know this is my own wife, because she recogonizes the calabash I once gave her."
