-LSB- From the Bureau of Ethnology , U.S. -RSB- The Sacred Milk of Koumongoe Far way , in a very hot country , there once lived a man and woman who had two children , a son named Koane and a daughter called Thakane . Early in the morning and late in the evenings the parents worked hard in the fields , resting , when the sun was high , under the shade of some tree . While they were absent the little girl kept house alone , for her brother always got up before the dawn , when the air was fresh and cool , and drove out the cattle to the sweetest patches of grass he could find . One day , when Koane had slept later than usual , his father and mother went to their work before him , and there was only Thakane to be seen busy making the bread for supper . ` Thakane , ' he said , ' I am thirsty . Give me a drink from the tree Koumongoe , which has the best milk in the world . ' ` Oh , Koane , ' cried his sister , ` you know that we are forbidden to touch that tree . What would father say when he came home ? For he would be sure to know . ' ` Nonsense , ' replied Koane , ` there is so much milk in Koumongoe that he will never miss a little . If you wo n't give it to me , I sha 'n' t take the cattle out . They will just have to stay all day in the hut , and you know that they will starve . ' And he turned from her in a rage , and sat down in the corner . After a while Thakane said to him : ` It is getting hot , had you better drive out the cattle now ? ' But Koane only answered sulkily : ' I told you I am not going to drive them out at all . If I have to do without milk , they shall do without grass . ' Thakane did not know what to do . She was afraid to disobey her parents , who would most likely beat her , yet the beasts would be sure to suffer if they were kept in , and she would perhaps be beaten for that too . So at last she took an axe and a tiny earthen bowl , she cut a very small hole in the side of Koumongoe , and out gushed enough milk to fill the bowl . ` Here is the milk you wanted , ' said she , going up to Koane , who was still sulking in his corner .
