Content : It was long after the first day of the world. At the edge of the village of Bakando, the forest had grown to the middle of the sky. Everyone was afraid of getting lost in it, except young Pemba Koli, who was afraid of nothing. One day, he ventured into the forest with his bow and arrow. He walked for a long time, then hid to wait for game. What was to happen happened. First a noise...

Pemba Koli chases Dengbé the gazelle! He runs, arrows her but never touches her, and runs some more. Without taking any notice, he crosses the border-river with the enemy village. He's immediately taken prisoner! They are about to beat him, when a young girl intervenes and saves him from the fury of her village. Isn't Pemba Koli just like them? With two eyes, two arms, two legs? The young man is set free... But he'll be back, because this girl has beautiful eyes, big eyes, the eyes of Dengbé the gazelle! And Pemba Koli has fallen in love.
