| Two women are seen struggling again
along a footpath. They are pushing and chasing themselves. Afterwards the
women hold themselves and rain abuses. |
| FIRST WOMAN: |
|
You think I will leave you
alone. You and your husband think you can fool me. It’s me who will kill
you both if you don’t refund my money. |
| SECOND WOMAN: |
|
There is nothing you can do -
foolish woman. Your betters have tried such things with me in the past and
they failed. Let’s go to the palace. |
| FIRST
WOMAN: |
|
I won’t go with you. I will
deal with you myself. |
| (They struggle again
and drag themselves off stage. Shortly later, Adin is seen walking angrily
along the path with a sharpened cutlass). |
| ADIN: |
|
(Fuming) The tortoise’s town is the
town of shame, even if taken to the town of dignity, it will still
go back to its town of shame. I gave the king a wife, he gave her to Oloko
his medicine man to be slaughtered for ritual and thrown into his
backyard. When I finish dealing with Oloko, the King himself will be my
next target. (He notices Ololo coming from
afar). |
| ADIN: |
|
Here are People coming from somewhere. What I will do is to
plant this broom along the path. (He quickly puts the
broom along the path and hides in a nearby bush. Ololo walks over
it as she passes. Adin later comes out). |
|
|
Now that I have laced her with magun*, I
know Oloko cannot escape and he will pay for killing my daughter. |
| (He
walks away. The two women drag themselves across the stage). |
| *Magun
is an African juju laced on wayward wives to attack during illicit affair |
