The Baboons Who Went This Way And That (2006)
“This woman had two sons, one called Diepe and the other Diepetsana. They were very poor people and they did not have a great deal to eat. Their granary was never more than half full and they wore very shabby clothes. Sometimes they had no clothes at all, and had to wear old rags and leaves to preserve their modesty. It was not easy being that poor.
In the same village there was a young man called Dimo. He was not as poor as these other two, as he had married the daughter of a rich man. He... had everything that he needed in this life, including a great deal of food. This food, which was rich and good, had made him quite fat.
This Dimo asked Diepe whether he could come and help him at the cattle post of his wife’s parents. There was much to be done there, he said, and they would be looked after well. Because he was poor and had nothing else to do, Diepe agreed to accompany Dimo to this place, which was very far away, and on the edge of the place where nobody lived but only wild animals.MoreLess
