A man is wounded by another by accident when out after springbok

Lucy Lloyd |xam notebooks

kabbo (Jantje) (II)

A man shoots another accidentally on the hunting ground. He explains that dust from the springbok prevented him from seeing clearly and the wounded man confirms this. The men tell the women that the accident was a result of their letting the children play inside the house. Different kinds of arrows and wounds are described. The dying man tells his wife how to continue after his death and how to raise the children. His wife laments and prepares to leave for her own family's place.
