Once in the village of Mambo, there lived a farmer he loved his farm very much.

Every morning, he took his hoe and went to the farm. He was always accompanied by Sandy, his dog. He worked hard on the farm.

He would work hard until evening.

One day, when he was working, he noticed that some of his maize was missing.

"Who is stealing my maize?" the farmer wondered.

When he was working the next day, he saw Rabbit running across his farm. The farmer was very angry at Rabbit.

He threw his hoe at Rabbit then he sent Sandy to catch her.

By bad luck, the hoe broke in pieces. This time, the farmer was very angry at Rabbit and at himself.

His wife brought him another hoe. She said to him, "Don't be too angry. It doesn't help."

The farmer listened to his wife and was very happy. He said, "I will not be angry again."

They talked about their harvest they would have at the end of the year. He was very happy to see his wife happy.

After a big harvest, the farmer and his wife had a wonderful wedding.

They ate sang and danced around the compound with all their friends.
