lightning onto that rock suddenly. It broke the rock and the bottle into several pieces and the Satyr with his invitees ran far away with fear. Without hesitation Simbi left there for another part of the Dark Jungle before the Satyr came back.
It was at that time Simbi believed that her gods could help her and then she held them as her soldiers.
Then she was wandering about in that jungle. A few days later she met Rali, Sala, Kadara, the rest nameless refugees and Bako, under a tree. They sat and were thinking seriously of the way to come out of this Dark Jungle, and they were thinking as well as how they could escape from Bako, the cockish lady. Because she was giving them much troubles.
But as Simbi was explaining to them with a dead voice all her difficulties, the phoenix who was the helper of theSatyr, suspected that they hid under that tree. And it pounced on them and took one of the nameless refugees away unexpectedly.
Then the rest left that place for another one.
SIMBI AND THE PHOENIX, THE SATYR’S ASSISTANCE
A few minutes after that the phoenix had carried one of them away, it came again and started to jump from one branch to another, it was looking for them.
And immediately they had seen it, they were hiding themselves in the darkness. If it took one direction they would take another direction, and by so doing it was unable to find them out, but it did not go away.
After a while, to make sure the right place that they hid, this phoenix screeched horribly.
But Bako, the cockish lady, who was among them, started to crow continuously immediately she heard the horrible cry of the phoenix.
“Please, Bako, stop crowing, it would suspect us to the phoenix,” the rest warned her whisperly.
“Heigh! don’t tell me that or don’t you know I ought to be acting here as my Siamese twin sister is acting at home!” Bako explained to them so loudly that the phoenix heard and then it was coming to them. Having seen them, it dashed to them just to take one of them away.
But it was unable to do it, when Simbi started to cut every part of its body with the cutlass which she took with her from that old woman’s house, when the Satyr went there and put her inside the bottle.
Within a few minutes, the phoenix flew away when it could not bear the cuts any longer. When it believed that it could not hesitate and take some of them away, for the fear of the cutlass with which Simbi was cutting its body, then it flew high in the sky with a very large stone, and it screeched suddenly just to make sure the right spot that they hid and then to throw that stone on them.
Unfortunately Bako started to crow loudly immediately she heard its horrible screech and this showed it where they were. And then it released the stone. The stone pressed many of them to death. Then the rest rushed to another spot and hid there. They tried to drive Bako back from them but she did not agree, she was shouting greatly instead.
It was like that the phoenix was throwing heavy stones on them until it killed Kadara, Sala and all the nameless refugees, and it remained Simbi, Rali and Bako, the cockish lady, who was suspecting them out to the phoenix.
The Satyr was greatly admired the work of the phoenix. Although he himself was struggling about in the jungle to find them out and kill all of them at once, but he never saw them.
When it was in the mid night, Simbi was feeling cold so much that if she did not warm herself with fire, doubtless she would die before the day-break, of course the rest were feeling the cold but not as much as she did.
As she was discussing about the cold with the rest, she remembered her three gods. Then she commanded the god of thunder to provide the fire.
Hardly commanded it, when it sent the fire onto a deadwood which was near them. The dead wood had a hole which was an impasse.
Within thirty minutes, it had burnt the hole very far and it shone to a very long distance. Then Simbi with the rest were warming their bodies
