Then these two began to hunt each other round the hole, saying—

“Push the Heigeip down!”

“Push the ǂGã ǂgorip down!”

“Push the Heigeip down!”

“Push the ǂGã ǂgorip down!”

With these words they hunted each other round for some time; but at

last the Heigeip was pushed down. Then he said to the hole, “Support me

a little,” and it did. Thus, being supported, he came out; and they

hunted each other again with the same words:—

“Push the Heigeip down!”

“Push the ǂGã ǂgorip down!”

A second time the Heigeip was pushed down, and he spoke the same words:

“Support me a little,” and thus got out again.

Once more these two hunted after each other, till at last the ǂGã

ǂgorip was pushed down, and he came not up again. Since that day men

breathed freely and had rest from their enemy, because he was

vanquished.
