Two well-known hunters from the village,
They were two brothers from a renowned family,
Every hunt was a triumph in the region.
All the girls in the area wanted them as husbands.
For them, no protected species existed,
For them, no future plans were made,
Their only focus was on consuming and consuming.
But as the proverb goes,
By consuming everything excessively,
There will be nothing left.
The animals began to diminish in numbers,
Even the pregnant females,
Even the newborns,
The forest no longer served as a meat reserve.
The two hunter brothers started to experience the word:
Empty-handed! Empty-handed! Empty-handed!
One day, while walking along the Kongo River,
They came across the Nkeleles, also known as partridges, a large community on the banks of the Pool Malebo.
But alas, the greed of the powerful,
And their accomplices turned the situation into a terrible reality.
The two hunter brothers found two eggs,
"God is great," said the older one,
He immediately lit a fire and cooked his egg.
The younger of the hunter brothers,
Kept his egg,
Knowing that one egg would not satisfy his hunger.
The next day, the two men
Went for another walk by the river,
They found two more eggs,
The elder brother ate one,
While the younger brother kept the other.
Whenever there were eggs,
The younger brother would keep them and content himself with fruits,
Roots, and plants.
He soon had seven eggs in his possession,
And on the tenth day, he had the pleasant surprise
Of seeing his eggs hatch,
Now he had chicks
That were growing rapidly,
He had hens and roosters.
The hens quickly began laying eggs,
And he had to build a large chicken coop.
The younger brother then stopped accompanying his brother on hunts,
