In the evening, when they returned, they found the giant helpless and tied to a tree by one enormous hair! 'How is it, said Makoma, astonished, 'that we find you thus bound and helpless? 'O Chief, answered Chi-eswa-mapiri, 'at mid-day a man came out of the river; he was of immense statue, and his grey moustaches were of such length that I could not see where they ended!
'My friends, said he, 'I have travelled far and am weary. Is not this such a place as would suit a hero for his home? Let us then go, to-morrow, to bring in timber to make a kraal. So the next day Makoma and the giants set out to get poles to build the kraal, leaving only Chi-eswa-mapiri to look after the place and cook some venison which they had killed.
'Greeting, shouted Makoma, 'you are you? 'I am Chi-eswa-mapiri, who makes the mountains, answered the giant; 'and who are you? 'I am Makoma, which signifies "greater," answered he. 'Greater than who? asked the giant. 'Greater than you! answered Makoma. The giant gave a roar and rushed upon him. Makoma said nothing, but swinging his great hammer, Nu-endo, he struck the giant upon the head.
Chi-dubula-taka grovelled before him, all the while growing smaller and smaller; and when he had become a convenient size Makoma picked him up and put him into the sack beside Chi-eswa-mapiri. He went on his way even greater than before, as all the river-maker's power had become his; and at last he came to a forest of bao-babs and thorn trees.
