Summary

A tale of the Early Race about the !khau lizard, who brings home his own flesh as food so that his wife will think he has brought home a Quagga. Eventually the wife tells their child to go out with his father and see what flesh he is bringing and the child sees his father go into a whirlwind and come out rolling his flesh in a net. The woman throws away the husband's flesh and leaves him for her father's people.
