- Description: This story, told by an old woman, of the handsome young man and his jealous mother is almost identical with a similar story I found amongst the Karanga of Southern Rhodesia in 1932. The story concerns a handsome young man who wanted to get married but his jealous mother made him promise that he would not marry any girl who ate food cooked by her. Girl after girl was turned away until one discovered the secret pact, refused the mother's food and married the handsome son. The Ngoni of the Jiri clan came up through the southern regions of what became Southern Rhodesia sacking the settlement at Zimbabwe on their way. It is clear that they must have captured a girl from that region who bore her master children to whom she taught her own home stories in Karanga and they in turn handed them on to the next generation. In Bikita district Southern Rhodesia, the chorus sings:- "Tiende gore tiende gore" instead of the Ngoni in this version. "Ce ce gore, ce ce gore." Story with song

She asked to come in and he first asked her what relish she had brought; she told him vegetables but she was sent back again to teh kitchen. Each time she came with vegetables she was sent away until the relish provided was meat. He did not want beans and vegetables, only meat-the greedy creature! "Open for me, Ha-he! Open, open ndera ndera As you say, open for me, what have you brought? I have brought porridge. What is the relish? The relish is beans. If the relish is beans, go and eat with your mother! The relish is vegetables. Go and eat with your mother. The relish is meat! Come inside, come inside." Story song

- Description: There was once a rabbit who liked dancing but used to come home late at night. His mother taught him a special song to sing so that she would know who it was and let him in. A hyena heard the rabbit singing his song and made a plan to eat up his mother. First he was unsuccessful, but later on he succeeded. The mother opened the door and he ate her up. When the rabbit came home he could hear it was not his mother who replied and he killed the hyena with his axe. Story song
