Description:The god had married two women who were birds, the grey hornbill and the yellow-billed hornbill. He dug g//xaru (Lapeirousia bainesii) roots, and filled a sack with them. The god was a person who did not share food with his wives, so he hung up the sack, pretending it was filled with sand. They all danced, and he secretly at g//xaru from the sack. He also prepared a long wooden paddle and laid it by. When they danced again, the god said he didn't want his wives to dance in front of him, but instead he wanted the tall woman sitting on the other side of the fire. The tall woman paid him no mind, but just kept on singing. Another woman came to dance in front of him, but he refused, calling again for the tall woman. Again she refused. Much later the tall woman, her bangles clinking, came and danced with him. They danced in parallel, and then sat down and turned away from and towards each other in turn. Then the god took up his long wooden paddle and beat her stomach and threw her down and she died. The dance split up and the god was alone, praising himself saying, "This is how I do things!"
