So Paka stayed with the man and ate of the elephant, while he was
cutting out the tusks.
When the man had finished cutting out the tusks he wended his way home,
and came to his village.
Now that man had two wives, and the one he loved and the other he loved
not.
So he came first to the house of her whom he loved not, that he might
stay a short time, and go to the house of her whom he loved.
So he came there and greeted the wife whom he loved not, and straightway
went on to the house of her whom he loved.
When he had come there he said to her, "Oh, my wife whom I love, I have
done this on purpose.
"I came first to the house of the other one, that I might come
straightway to you whom I love, and remain with you a long time."
Now the woman was angry, in that he had gone first to the house of the
other, and she said to him, "What you say is false!"
So she came up to him and struck him--pah!
That man did not do anything; he turned round and left the hut.
Then thought Paka, "Now, even this one is not the manly one. Why does he
go away? He who is the man is the woman."
