Long time ago, Magezi and Kasiira lived by sharing food.

1

Magezi said, "Let us dig together the way we eat together."

2

Magezi told Kasiira, "You dig and I will plant."

3

Magezi told Kasiira, "You plant and I will weed."

4

When the millet was ripe, Kasiira asked Magezi to harvest it.

5

Magezi said, "You harvest, I will put it in the granary."

6

Magezi was lazy.

So Kasiira gave him only one millet finger.

7

Magezi took the finger of millet.

He met Hen.

8

Hen ate all the millet.

She gave Magezi an egg.

9

Magezi met some children.

They broke the egg.

10

The children gave Magezi a mango.

11

Magezi met Parrot.

Parrot ate the mango and gave a feather.

12

The lake took the feather, and gave Magezi some water.

13

Magezi used the water to put out the charcoal burners' fire.

14

The charcoal burners gave Magezi an axe.

15

Magezi met some butchers.

They broke the axe.

16

Magezi got the bull's head and tail.

Look what Magezi did!

17

Then he shouted, "The king's bull is stuck in the mud!"

18

People came to help.

"Pull the tail and head," said Magezi.

19

Magezi told the people, "Give me your cattle for the king."

They did.
