Once there was a pregnant woman. She went out walking far away looking for a place to live, and she came to a lion's den. When she went in, she gave birth to a child, and in the evening the lions gave her food to eat. She was given a spoon to eat with, but the soup spilled from the spoon on to the child and the lions were afraid because they thought the noise was magic and they ran away, leaving sorghum, beans and everything. So she took all the lions' property.
