There was once a man with one leg called Salimwendo. Now Salimwendo was a thief. He married a young girl and he told the girl "I have plenty of goats, fowls and sheep at home and you will not be short of relish if you marry me." One day he went out stealing a goat, and he was chased by the owner who called out his friends "catch him-Salimwendo, catch hm". Salimwendo ran away to his owm house and quickly sang to his wife inside. "Open the door for me, quickly, your share will be the liver". So she opened the door and he was safe inside. But he did not give her her share. The next day Salimwendo went out to steal a fowl. He was chased again, but he was not quick enough. The owner caught him outside his own door as his wife had refused to open the door. Salimwendo was taken by the man to the Chief who said he must give back both the goat and the fowl and on top of that his wife left him as she did not like to live with a greedy man who also told her lies about his goats, fowls and sheep. "There is Salimwendo, catch him. the one with one leg, catch him." "Girl open the door for me quickly, quickly. I will give you your share. the liver." Nthanu story.
