ABSTRACT
All the Maidens of the town had assembled, and had gone to the forest to pick certain herbs, and, while they were doing this, it began to rain, from the east it came, and they ran, and got inside the hollow of a Baobab tree (1), and the Devil closed it up. When the rain had ceased, the Devil said that each must give him her necklace and cloth before he would release her, and all gave them to him except one Girl who refused to do so. So she had to remain, but the others went off home.
