han≠kass'o (Klein Jantje) (VIII)

Summary

The stars call out 'Tsau! Tsau!'. The people say that the stars are cursing the springbok's eyes for them. When the stars came out, |han≠kass'o's grandfather Tsatsi prayed to them, asking to exchange his hungry heart with the star's satisfied one so he might also be filled up.
