On perhaps a war expedition someone says, "Your banished sibman is lying back there and dying." The man notified goes and finds him. Within seeing distance he opens his bag, ceremoniously divides his food and leaves half on the roadside. On leaving he sings . . . "Kirie bird, kindness continues in hunger." . . . To speak of this action is not appropriate on either side, but the rescued man will express gratitude. He slaughters an animal and wraps a hindquarter in banana leaves. During the night he carries it to the hut of his rescuer and leaves it before the door. When some distance away he sings a song closing with the words, "Listen, lelele, it is I who am speaking" (237–238).
