Begwani the Beggar

       Bulindwa the chief of Kabras was well known for throughout the land. He was a brave warrior and skilled in war infact, Bulindwa was the paramount chief of several smaller chiefdoms, all of which paid homage and pledged loyalty to him. To add to his name were his beautiful daughters. The girls had been born to his second wife, Neli, after a long period of barreness. Neli went to see a powerful medicineman who administered a rare and very strong medicine to her. As part of the fees to the medicineman, Neli had to keep the names of the girls secret from elderly one except themselves and their parents. This pledge placed a heavy burden on the entire family.
