Kwelanga part 2

Early the next morning, Zamo arrived back at the Chief's home and there he bowed low. "I am here to win the hand of Kwelanga" he quietly spoke.

"Prepare to return home tomorrow Zamo. Today you must fill these 1,000 jugs to the top with water from the river. They must be filled by sundown." The Chief proudly turned to go back inside thinking to himself "surely no one could fill all the jugs, it is impossible." and he waited for sundown to come to send Zamo home.

But as Zamo struggled to carry water back and forth from the river, he heard a most beautiful song being sung....
"River flowing
ever are you growing
Please flow for Zamo
fill the jugs so."

Just then the river began to flow faster and filled his bowl more quickly and as he worked and sweat and grew tired, he knew he would finish by nightfall and he felt quite pleased with himself. As the sky began to change color and the sun began to slip down behind the mountains, Zamo returned to show the Chief who could hardly believe his eyes.
"Wah!" he said, "Surely I have made still too simple a test." And he sent Zamo away telling him to return in the morning.

The Chief then called to him his greatest advisor and they talked all night of a test that surely Zamo could not pass. Impossible that a poor peasant boy could win the hand of the great Chief's daughter.
