A Moshubia man was ordered to cut some reeds for Sekeletu: he went off, and hid himself for two days instead.

For this he was doomed to die, and was carried in a canoe to the middle of the river, choked, and tossed into the stream.

The spectators hooted the executioners, calling out to them that they too would soon be carried out and strangled.

Occasionally when a man is sent to beat an offender, he tells him his object, returns, and assures the chief he has nearly killed him.

The transgressor then keeps for a while out of sight, and the matter is forgotten.
