USathane wathi kuye: ‘UJobhi uthembekile kuwe ngombana uyambusisa begodu unezinto ezinengi ezihle. Newungamthathela zona, kwamambala uzokuthuka.’

Ekuthomeni, uSathana wabangela bona iinkomo zakaJobhi namakamela kwetjiwe, begodu izimvu zakhe zabulawa. Wabangela bona isiwuruwuru sibulale amadodana namadodakazi wakhe ayi-10. Ngokulandelako, uSathana wabangela uJobhi bona abe nobulwelwe obusabekako. UJobhi watlhaga khulu. Kungalokho umkaJobhi athi kuye: “Thuka uZimu ufe!” UJobhi bangeke akwenze lokho. Kweza abangani bakhe abathathu bamtjela bonyana gade aphila ukuphila okumbi. Kodwana uJobhi wahlala athembekile.
