    the harp.
    Now this man's mother was bad to him.
    When he went home and started to play, his mother began to dance. Then she brought him to court and he started to play the harp and all the people started to dance at the court, and that is how the fort got its name.

  2. It is very unlucky to cut a lone bush. A woman once cut a branch off for fire wood and next morning her hand had withered. It was just the size of a small childs and was all purple.
    Another man did the same and every time he passed that way he saw a tiny black man sitting under the bush.
