A few days after their departure from the plantain field, the three nginas found themselves in a part of the forest where food was scarce.
One evening the old ngina said to his mate: "We have had a hard time of late, and our little one is often hungry. We go to sleep with empty stomachs. Let us go back to that part of the forest from which the human beings drove us by their noise. Perhaps we shall discover more plantain fields in the neighborhood that we have not yet seen."
