Description:		Rabbit married his wife but she refused to sleep with him. So Rabbit went to a carpenter to make a stool with a hole in the middle of it and gave it to his wife to sit on while cooking. When his wife was sitting on the stool and preparing food Rabbit went underneath and had sex with her and she gave birth without knowing how she became pregnant. One day she left the child with Rabbit to look after it while she ground grain at the grinding stone. Then she heard Rabbit singing a song about the stool hole child and she listened for a while. She collected her things and the child and left for her parents' home but Rabbit wisely went ahead of her and met a man who was hoeing on his farm. Rabbit told the man that you can't be hoeing without singing so he started singing his stool hole child song and the man picked it up. Rabbit went further again on the same path that his wife was taking and he met another woman grinding her grain in a house so he told her to sing the same song. So when his wife passed all these people and heard them singing the song she decided to go back home. Upon her return she gave the child back to Rabbit and was singing the song and Rabbit asked her why she was singing the same song that made her leave the house. She answered that it was a popular song in the village.
