00:00Once upon a time there was a man who had two wives. One day his first wife became ill.
00:10She called her two children and said to them,
00:13My dear children, soon I will die. Now kiss me and say goodbye. Her children were very sad.
00:24Mother, they said, Our father's second wife hates us.
00:34If she doesn't give us food, what shall we do?
00:40Don't worry, their mother said. When you're hungry, go into the forest.
00:47You'll find someone to feed you there.
00:52The mother died, and the two boys cried for many days.
00:59Then they went to their father's second wife.
01:05Please, they said, we're hungry. Let us eat with you.
01:11What? said their stepmother. You want me to give you food?
01:19I don't have enough for my children. Go away. I haven't got anything for you.
01:28The younger brother began to cry. I'm hungry, he said to his older brother.
01:35I want something to eat. His older brother took his hand. Don't worry, he said.
01:49Remember what our mother said. We'll go into the forest and find someone to feed us there.
01:59So the two children went into the forest, and there they found a cow.
02:04The cow was very kind to them. Every day she gave them food to eat.
02:11The children were happy. They were never hungry now.
02:17The children of the second wife could not understand it.
02:23Who feeds you? they asked their brothers. Why are you never hungry?
02:30And why do you go to the forest every day?
02:35One morning, the oldest girl said, I'm coming with you to the forest today.
02:43I want to know where you find your food. Her two stepbrothers tried to stop her.
02:51No, don't come, they said. You'll be tired and hungry.
02:57We don't do anything in the forest. We have no mother to give us food,
03:04so we just walk all day until we're tired. But their sister asked them again and again.
03:14So at last, they agreed to take her. They walked about in the forest all day,
03:23until they came to the home of the cow. The older boy didn't want to tell his stepsister
03:29about the cow. He wanted to keep the secret. But his little brother was very hungry,
03:37and he said, please, I'll die if I don't have some food. Call the cow, and let's eat.
03:46Call the cow, and let's eat.
03:51So they called the cow, and she came and gave food to the brothers, and they ate it.
03:59When they got home, the children's stepsister said to her mother,
04:06I know my brother's secret. There's a cow in the forest who gives them food every day.
04:15The next day, the woman went to her husband.
04:21Husband, she said, you know that I'm pregnant, and our new baby will soon be born. I need to
04:27eat very good food. If I don't eat well, the baby won't be strong. Bring me the cow from the forest.
04:34What cow? Her husband said. I don't have a cow.
04:40I don't have a cow. His wife became angry. I know your secret, she said. I want the cow
04:52that feeds your children. So her husband brought the cow from the forest and gave it to his wife.
05:01Kill it, she said. I must eat its meat to make my baby strong.
05:11Her husband tried to argue with her, but she didn't listen to him. At last, he agreed to kill
05:17the cow. He picked up his knife and cut the cow's throat, but the cow refused to die.
05:23Then his wife said, if the cow doesn't die, I will kill your two children.
05:36When the children heard this, they said, let the cow die, and she died.
05:45The woman tried to skin the cow, but the skin refused to come off the meat.
05:54If this skin doesn't come off the dead cow, the woman said, I will kill the children.
06:04When the children heard this, they said, let the skin come off, and the skin came off the dead cow.
06:15The woman put the meat into the pot and tried to cook it, but the meat refused to cook.
06:25If the meat doesn't cook, I will kill the children, said the woman.
06:34When the children heard this, they said, let the meat cook, and the meat began to cook.
06:43When the meat was cooked, the woman tried to take the pot off the fire, but the pot didn't move.
06:54If the pot doesn't come off the fire, I will kill the children, said the woman.
07:02When the children heard this, they said, let the pot come off the fire, and it came off the fire.
07:13Then the woman took the meat out of the pot and ate it. The two brothers were worried now.
07:25Our stepmother has killed our cow, and now she wants to kill us, they said. We must run away.
07:35So they ran away into the forest. There they lost each other. One brother went one way,
07:47the other went another way. Years passed, and the brothers grew up.
07:57The younger brother went away, but the older brother stayed near the forest.
08:05One day, as the older brother was walking near a village, he saw a girl, and he fell in love with
08:13her. She was the daughter of the chief. The chief had many daughters, but this one was the most
08:22beautiful of them all. The young man began to meet the girl secretly, and she fell in love with him
08:32too. Now, there was a war between the villages at that time. Every night, when it was dark,
08:46enemies came to fight against the village where the chief and his daughter lived.
08:53So every night, the young man came to fight for the chief. One day, the chief said to his men,
09:05who is the stranger who comes every night and fights beside me? I want to meet him.
09:14Ask your daughters, his men said. They will know. So the chief told everyone to come to a meeting.
09:25When they were all together, he called his daughters and said to them,
09:31bring your husbands and your lovers here, so that I can see them all.
09:36So all the chief's daughters came with their husbands and their lovers.
09:45But the young man from the forest, who loved the chief's most beautiful daughter,
09:54had smallpox, and he was very ill. He sat far away from the others,
10:03he sat far away from the others, and did not look up at the chief.
10:10The chief's beautiful daughter ran up to him and took his hand.
10:18What are you doing? said the chief. Come away from that man. He has smallpox.
10:27But father, said the girl, this is the man who fights beside you every night. He is brave
10:36and strong. I love him, and I want to marry him. The chief was angry when he heard this.
10:47He didn't want his daughter to marry a man with smallpox. He began to shout at her.
10:54Then he stopped. Everyone was looking at him.
11:01What's the matter? asked the chief. Why are you all looking at me?
11:08Your, your head, sir, the people said. Look, it's growing. It's getting bigger and bigger.
11:16Bigger and bigger. The chief put his hands up to his head. It was true.
11:27His head was growing bigger and bigger. Please, father, his daughter said,
11:35please let me marry this man. If you don't let me marry him, your head will grow and grow.
11:43If you do, it will become the right size again. Everyone said, yes, sir. Let her marry the young
11:53man. Do what she says. So, the chief agreed to the marriage. At once, his head stopped growing
12:07and became the right size again. Then the young man and the chief's daughter were married,
12:16and they lived happily ever after.
