A yet unwritten story, about the Rain and one of the First Bushmen girls carried away by a whirlwind and who became a frog

kabbo (Jantje) (II)

A note has been made, from //kábbo's information, of a story not yet written down in Bushman, telling how the Rain carried off a girl belonging to the First Bushmen (or the ancient people living before the Bushmen), who afterwards became a frog, her kaross being changed into a springbok, etc. Her people were also transformed (L II.-37. 3335 rev. and 3336 rev.). Versions of this transformation into frogs, ascribed chiefly to a new Maiden's acts of disobedience, are given in the Katkop dialect by !kwéiten ta //kên (L VI.-1. 3930-3958), and by Dia!kwãin (B XXVII. 2609-2618, continued in L V.-2. 3864-3881).
