Once there lived a Frog who had two wives. His
first wife lived in Ndumbi and his second wife lived in Ndala. He himself lived
a little place between Ndumbi and Ndala. He went sometimes to Ndumbi and
sometimes to Ndala to see his wives.
Once a little frog came to him and said "Come to Ndumbi please! Your first
wife has a nice pudding for you. Come at once while the pudding is hot!"
The Frog was very happy, because he liked puddings very much. He was ready to go
when another little frog came up to him and said, "Please, come to Ndala!
Your second wife has a nice pudding for you. Come at once while the pudding is
hot!"
The Frog sat down and began to think:
"If I go to my first wife for the pudding, my second wife will be sorry and
angry. If I go to my second wife for the pudding, my first wife will be sorry
and angry, too. Where shall I go - to Ndumbi or to Ndala?"
He sat and thought for a long time. And he stayed at home and began to cry:
"Oh! Where shall I go, where shall I go?"
Now, when you hear frogs' Gaou, gaou, gaou, you will understand that it
means: "Where shall I go? Where shall I go? Go, go, go?"
How bad it is to have two wives who make puddings at the same time!
