intro song

while the clever rabbits are singing a happy song, a visitor passes by, he is a bush man, and he is
carrying something on his back

Leungo --- hello there, who are you? (with a surprised look)

the bush

bushman ---- ha-ha, true that, but you guys are free to make yours, you can take this steak and
make your own dried meat

motho: Ee, nama e ke e e metsi, e gwapiseng

tebie ---- oooh! so how exactly are we supposed to even start drying meat?
Tebbie: oooh! Mme gone re e gwapisa jang? Re simolola fa kae?

bush man --- simple, first you cut it into small pieces that you will then leave to dry
Motho: Go motlhofo, o simolola ka go e segelela boleele nyana o bo o e anega

Monei --- that sounds sound simple and hard at the same time
Monei: Go utlwalega gole motlhofo e bile gape go le thata

Tebbie ---- and complicated, would you help us make dried meat Mr. Bushman?
Tebbie: gape ga go tlhaloganyesege, Rre Monageng tlhe re kopa o re thuse go dira segwapa

bushman --- no problem, first thing first, get a wire to make a line
Motho: Ga gona molato, nkale thusa, batlang teratanyana re simolole go dira morapa

they start cutting the meat into half and as well hanging it on a wire
a song
about cutting a meat down for drying and hanging it, or just a song of hanging it up instead
without cutting.
we making dried meat, dried meat
we making dried meat
we hang it we hang it the sun t dry, to dry, to dry

Mr. bush man -- wow! (and all exhaling) now that's it


Motho: mmh! Huu! Re heditse

Leungo: Ao re heditse?

bush man --- not yet, at this time all you have to do is wait for the meat to dry up
Motho: nyaa, nama ga e ise e gwape e tsaya lebaka go omelela

Monei --- I can wait, but the question is how long do we have to wait sir?
Monei: Ke a shwega-shwega, Potso ke gore re ya go se emela lebaka le le kae?

bushman --- because the meat is still bloody


Motho: Ga o bone gore e santse e le madi?

leungo -- bloody
Leungo: Madi

until this red colour dries out
