Description:The speaker tells of a story whereby men were going to raid cattle. On the way, an ogre wanted to be carried so as to cross over to the other side. All men refused apart from the last one. On crossing, the ogre refused to get off his back. The other men left him so he tricked the ogre into getting off. He then reunited with the other men. The ogre woke up and wanted to be helped to cross over again. People avoided it because of fear until one day someone went and killed it.
