Nevertheless they cut it up, and Bhagrit divided the pieces among the workmen, but they were too frightened to take any and preferred to take the smaller fishes as their share. So he told Lukhu's wife to take up the pieces and wash them: and as she did so the song was heard: "Do not wash me, sister, Do not wash me, sister, The Ginduri fish is dying."
So he sent for men with baling baskets and began to divide off the water with dams, but out of the water a voice was heard, singing; "Do not dam the water, father, Do not dam the water, father, Your daughter-in-law, the Ginduri fish is dying." At this sound the workmen were frightened and stopped; but Bhagrit made them go on, saying that whatever happened should be on his head.
And when the dams were finished, they began to bale out the water; thereupon a voice sang: "Do not bale the water, father, Do not bale the water, father. Your daughter-in-law, the Ginduri fish is dying." But they paid no attention and baled the water dry, and at the bottom of the pool they found an enormous fish, for the bonga girl had turned into a fish.
And they went to kill it, but the fish sang: "Do not hit me, father, Do not hit me, father, Your daughter-in-law, the Ginduri fish is dying." Nevertheless they killed it and dragged it on to the bank. Then they began to cut it up, and as they did so, it sang: "Do not cut me, father, Do not cut me, father, Your daughter-in-law, the Ginduri fish, is dying."
And she was very frightened, but her father made her wash them and then they took home the pieces and lit a fire and ground spices and turmeric and heated oil and made ready to cook the fish. Then the fish sang again: "Do not cook me, sister, Do not cook me, sister, The Ginduri fish, sister, is dying.
