<i>The Mantis and Kóro-tuíten. The Mantis learns from Kóro-tuíten how to obtain 'Bushman-rice' (i.e. larvae of the ants) with ease; but, acting ungratefully towards his instructor, he soon loses his newly acquired power. By /han≠kass'o (L VIII.-10. 6885-6939). A note states that Kóro-tuíten was formerly a man of the early race (L VIII.-10. 6885 rev.). 'Bushman rice' may be dug by both men and women. By /han≠kass'o (L VIII.-10. 6888 rev., note). </i>
