Description:		When the animals were still people, their old man, Moon, one day went down into a hole in the ground. The people thought he had died, and wondered who would take care of them. They drank water from their waterhole and moved on to another waterhole when the water died. Later the raisin berries were ripening in their abandoned village, so the women were going back there to collect it and were bringing it home to the new village. One day one of their women, the haregirl, went with them to the raisin berry patch. The other women decieved her about which ones to gather, saying she should eat the red ones, and only gather the white ones. She did so, and when she opened her carrying skin they scolded her for collecting unripe berries. The told her to dump those out and to go back for ripe ones--that they would wait for her. She did so, and while she was gone, they all pissed in the waterhole and told the piss to answer when she called out, so that the haregirl would think the other women were still there. When she came back to the abandoned village with her second batch of gathered berries and other things, she was eathing a !ama bulb. She didn't see the women, so she called out and the piss answered. Meanwhile, the old man Moon had found a tortoise and was sitting at the entrance to his hole in the ground at the abandoned village. He tried to entice the haregirl to give her the !ama bulb, but she was afraid because she thought he was a dead person. She stuck the bulb on the end of her digging stick so she wouldn't have to come close to him, but he grabbed the stick and pulled her into the hole. Moon said, "Why are you afraid of me? I'm still alive, and I want to give you a message so you can tell the other people. Tell them that when people die they will imitate me, the Moon, and will be alive again." The haregirl ran back to her people and told them, "Old Moon says that when people die they will not return, that their flesh will smell bad." She then returned to Moon and told him what she had said to the people. He was angry and split her mouth with an axe; that's why the hare has a split mouth. She then took her gemsbok skin cloak and charred it in the fire. When she threw it over the Moon's face, the dirt of the female gemsbok skin made marks on his face that we see today.
