Description:The speaker tells a story of a group of boys who went around eating snakes and chameleons. One of them did not see this as fit so the others were annoyed at him. He decided to get some wild fruits up on a tree but the tree was cut and he fell into a gorge. The boy was then reported as missing. He sent a bird to his father so that they could find him.
