In an instant there poured forth such a stream of milk that it ran like a river into the hut. 'Koane! Koane! cried she, 'come and help me to plug up the hole. There will be no milk left for our father and mother. But Koane could not stop it any more than Thakane, and soon the milk was flowing through the hut downhill towards their parents in the fields below.
Then, in her turn, Thakane sang: I gave Koumongoe to Koane, Koumongoe to the keeper of beasts; For without Koumongoe they could not go to the meadows: Without Koumongoe they would starve in the hut; That was why I gave him the Koumongoe of my father. And the elands all cried: 'Wretched man! it is you whom the ogre should eat, and not your beautiful daughter.

There will be no milk left for our father and mother. But Koané could not stop it any more than Thakané, and soon the milk was flowing through the hut downhill towards their parents in the fields below.
After a while Thakane said to him: 'It is getting hot, had you better drive out the cattle now? But Koane 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. Thakane did not know what to do.
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 when the rabbit heard that, he cried: 'Wretched man! it is you whom the ogre should eat, and not your beautiful daughter.
One day, when Koane had slept later than usual, his father and mother went to their work before him, and there was only Thakane to be seen busy making the bread for supper. 'Thakane, he said, 'I am thirsty. Give me a drink from the tree Koumongoe, which has the best milk in the world. 'Oh, Koane, 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. Then, in her turn, Thakane sang: I gave Koumongoe to Koane, Koumongoe to the keeper of beasts; For without Koumongoe they could not go to the meadows: Without Koumongoe they would starve in the hut; That was why I gave him the Koumongoe of my father.
And this the boys did, and took such good care of their sister that, as she was very small, she soon forgot that she had ever had a father and mother. The Sacred Milk of Koumongoe Far way, in a very hot country, there once lived a man and woman who had two children, a son named Koane and a daughter called Thakane.
