Once upon a time there was a poor man who did not
have a job or a place to stay. Finally he went with his dog to the palace of the
Sukuma chief. The chief warmly received the man with his dog. The poor man was
accepted as part of the royal family, and the chief fed both him and his dog.
Later on enemies came to kill the chief. The dog barked, the alarm was sounded,
the chief escaped, and his life was saved.
