danced with Tede VIII. II l had not gone home
with him, II / had done right there would have

Mem Ave years before any trouble came to
him. While helping Tede VIII in his fight
with. Norbis, Sehinom killed Saias Sains and
Chuchu, two OF the best men among Norbis's
forces.
All The southern people talked Of these two.
and told how they had died. A great man, far
off in the southeast, heard of this. lie was
chief OF the two when they were living. and his
name was Chulup Win Herit-ta pointed white
rock1. He was a slender. strong person. When
he had heard all, he said:
II have never liked fighting. I have never
gone to war. But Norbis attacked Tede VIII;
fought with him. Now he has taught me
something and l am going to fight"
Chulup inquired everywhere to discover who
killed these two men; he wished to be sure.
All the people said, 'Sehinom Chabatu did It,"
ut was CHR Chuma who had killed them.
But CHR Chuma was under Sehinom Chabatu,
and the blanc was on him."
