Folk-lore Tales of Central Africa.
Then came the people, saying, "So then, old rascal, you have done away with our fowls."
So they danced around him. The children danced around him, saying, "Did we not tell you? now ye have caught him. There is the rascal; ye have caught him." The young men also came around, and the old men and girls, together with all the women, young and old, and they ridiculed him greatly.
When they had done thus, they killed him. He died on account of his thieving, for there was no one to deliver him.
D. Elmslie.
