They say that long ago hunger never ketch the bellies of the people in this country. But, eh bye! all this be spoiled now. This is the way the old people tell me it happened. One day there was a big play at a distant town. Hunger invites Belly to go with him. Before they start, Hunger cooks plenty chop and asks Belly to eat. Then Hunger insists that he get on Belly and be carried to the play. Belly refuses, and there is big, big palaver. In the end Hunger gets best, and mounts Belly. When they arrive at the play, Belly asks Hunger to get off, but Hunger refuses and holds tight. He even succeeds in creeping inside of Belly. Belly is enraged. To quiet him, Hunger promises to come out if Belly carries him back home. Belly carries Hunger home, and then, tired and faint from carrying him inside, demands that he come out. Hunger laughs, and says, "I have no intention whatever of coming out, and you may surely expect to be reminded every day that I am your constant companion". Thus it happened that Hunger began to live in Belly, and lives there to this day.
