What would father say when he came home? For he would be sure to know. 'Nonsense, replied Koane, 'there is so much milk in Koumongoe that he will never miss a little. If you won't give it to me, I sha'n't take the cattle out. They will just have to stay all day in the hut, and you know that they will starve. And he turned from her in a rage, and sat down in the corner.
'Here is the milk you wanted, said she, going up to Koané, who was still sulking in his corner. 'What is the use of that? grumbled Koané; 'why, there is not enough to drown a fly. Go and get me three times as much! Trembling with fright, Thakané returned to the tree, and struck it a sharp blow with the axe.

Then, in her turn, Thakané sang: I gave Koumongoé to Koané, Koumongoé to the keeper of beasts; For without Koumongoé they could not go to the meadows: Without Koumongoé they would starve in the hut; That was why I gave him the Koumongoé of my father. And the elands all cried: 'Wretched man! it is you whom the ogre should eat, and not your beautiful daughter.
One day, when Koané had slept later than usual, his father and mother went to their work before him, and there was only Thakané to be seen busy making the bread for supper. 'Thakané, he said, 'I am thirsty. Give me a drink from the tree Koumongoé, which has the best milk in the world. 'Oh, Koané, cried his sister, 'you know that we are forbidden to touch that tree.
'You had better ask her, replied the man, 'she is old enough to answer for herself.

After a while Thakané said to him: 'It is getting hot, had you not better drive out the cattle now? But Koané only answered sulkily: 'I told you I am not going to drive them out at all. If I have to do without milk, they shall do without grass. Thakané did not know what to do.
