ABSTRACT

This is about a Malam who had riches of all kinds; Cattle, Horses, Goats, all of these he had. One day the Spider came to him, and said " Peace be upon you," and the Malam replied "And on you too, be peace" (1). Then the Spider said " I want to tend your flocks for you, I will also sweep the place where the Sheep are kept." And the Malam said very well, that he agreed.
