You see the sky, that we shall get wet. The cannibal said, 'You are right, child of my sister; you are a man indeed in saying, let us thatch the house, for we shall get wet. Uthlakanyana said, 'Do you do it then; I will go inside, and push the thatching-needle for you, in the house. The cannibal went up. His hair was very, very long. Uthlakanyana went inside and pushed the needle for him.
Now I am about to eat in peace; I no longer dispute with anybody, for I am now alone with my cow." So the cannibal cried and raved and appealed in vain to Uthlakanyana's sense of justice, until by and by "the sky came with hailstones and lightning Uthlakanyana took all the meat into the house; he stayed in the house and lit a fire. It hailed and rained.
Like the Panis and Trolls, the cannibals are represented as the foes of the solar hero Uthlakanyana, who is almost as great a traveller as Odysseus, and whose presence of mind amid trying circumstances is not to be surpassed by that of the incomparable Boots. Uthlakanyana is as precocious as Herakles or Hermes.
Let us just finish the house; afterwards we can do that; we will do it together. Uthlakanyana replied, 'Come down then. I cannot go into the house any more. The thatching is finished. The cannibal assented. When he thought he was going to quit the house, he was unable to quit it.
He speaks before he is born, and no sooner has he entered the world than he begins to outwit other people and get possession of their property. He works bitter ruin for the cannibals, who, with all their strength and fleetness, are no better endowed with quick wit than the Trolls, whom Boots invariably victimizes. On one of his journeys, Uthlakanyana fell in with a cannibal.
The cannibal cried on the top of the house; he was struck with the hailstones, and died there on the house. It cleared. Uthlakanyana went out and said, 'Uncle, just come down, and come to me. It has become clear. It no longer rains, and there is no more hail, neither is there any more lightning. Why are you silent? So Uthlakanyana ate his cow alone, until he had finished it.
He cried out saying, 'Child of my sister, how have you managed your thatching? Uthlakanyana said, 'See to it yourself. I have thatched well, for I shall not have any dispute.
