There a village was. The chief was there and he had a son. He kept him in a partition and he never went around. Only, when he would do one of nature's duties would he go out and he would return right away. The chief would say, my son, this village is yours. The people are under your charge. Whatever you say, they will do it, he would say to him. Then one day the chief said to his son, my son, all young men of your size are going about but you never go around. Some times it would be good to go about, he said to him. You ought to associate with your people he told him, but still he would never visit around, again he said it to him.
