WIIL-WAAL And The Guests

:Once a hundred men came to Wiil-Waal and said

We have heard that you are generous and hospitable. If so, feed us properly

“You are welcome” said Wiil-Waal. “Sit down”

:He brought to each guest a huge basin of millet gruel and said

“I’ll kill everybody who leaves in his basin even a scrap of food”

The guests got frightened, because nobody was able to eat so much gruel. When the chief went away they started to think how to escape, and one man said

“Let’s eat together – first from one basin, then from another”

Soon the gruel was finished and some men were even not sated. When the chief saw the empty basins he could not believe his eyes

How did you manage to do it?” he asked"

The guests did not answer because they were afraid that Wiil-Waal would kill the man who had saved them

:But the chief said

He who thought out how to finish so much gruel has to be recognized. Let him introduce himself, I won’t harm him

The man stood up and Wiil-Waal said

“Go away! I don’t want to see you anymore”

:After the man had left, the chief said

“!A clever man is dangerous to the powerful”
