That night the family was very unhappy.
:14:21
They began to talk about this thing.
They did not have a name for it.
:14:26
They called it the "evil thing. "
:14:35
Gaboo said, "Perhaps the gods
were absent-minded...
:14:38
...when they dropped
the evil thing on the earth.
:14:40
They've always sent only good things,
like rain, trees, roots and berries to eat.
:14:46
We are their children and they love us.
But now they've sent this evil thing. "
:14:57
Xi said, "The thing does not
belong on the earth.
:15:00
Tomorrow I will take it to the end
of the earth and throw it off. "
:15:06
Gobo said, "I think the end of the earth
must be very far.
:15:10
I think you'll have to walk
for 20 days. Perhaps 40. "

Xi said,
"I will start walking tomorrow. "

in the state of Birani...
