Soup.

The most beautiful Afrikaans fairy tales, selected and retold by PIETER W. GROBBELAAR.

The Bushmen looked at the animal world in fine detail. That's why Leeu [Lion] is strong for them, Wolf [Wolf] like Hienna [Hyena] is often called cruel, and Jakkals [Jackal] is a cowardly beggar.

Wolf walked a long way to visit his brother. Now he is hungry and thirsty. In the field he finds Leeu lying next to a zebra and eating off it. A little way off sits Jakkals, waiting for a little bit that is left over.

"Good evening, Leeu," Wolf says kindly.

"Mmm," says Leeu, and he cracks open a marrow bone.

Wolf crouches down on his haunches. "What's up? Don't you invite me to eat a little piece together with you then?" "Yes, yes!" Jakkals eagerly says.

"Stay quiet!" says Wolf, and Jakkals moves off a couple of steps.

"No," Leeu says, while tearing at the soft meat of a buttock.

"Just a bit of soup to lick," Wolf asks. "I'm very thirsty." "I lick my soup myself," Leeu says.

"Just an old small marrowbone to nibble off," Wolf pleads.

"Here, take this!" Leeu says, and he throws Wolf the bone he has just sucked dry himself.

"And what about me, Leeu? ," Jakkals asks with a wailing voice.

"Buzz off!" says Leeu, and he aims with his front paw.

Jakkals moves a bit further away.

Wolf takes the bone, and he chews on it as if is tasty to chew on, and he sucks on it as if there is lots to suck on. Then he gets up. "Thanks a lot, Leeu," he says. "I will not forget such kindness. Do come tomorrow evening to my place to eat a bit of soup.
"Thank you, yes," says Leeu, and he's already licking his lips because he knows Wolf's friends are dead when he comes to the soup cookout.

"Thank you, yes!" says Jakkals as if Wolf has invited him too, and he starts licking the dry bone that Wolf left behind.

Behind the hill, Wolf comes across an ostrich. It's only feathers and feet, and then Wolf starts to eat. The piece that's left, he drags home. "Do eat the meat," he says to his wife and children. "Just leave the bones for me." The next day Wolf puts two pots on the fire for the ostrich soup. He takes off the one pot in time to get cold, but he keeps the other pot boiling hot.

It's not too long before Leeu comes with Jakkals in his track. "What about that soup you talked about, Wolf?" Leeu asks.

"Yes, what about that soup?" Jakkals asks.

Just come and sit in the queue here," Wolf says, indicating where his wife and children are already waiting.

Mrs Wolf opens her mouth, and Wolf throws in, but this is from the cold pot. So he goes from child to child, and they drink too well. But when he came to Leeu and Jakkals, he spoons out two cups of that fire-hot soup.
"Open wide!," he says, and so they do.

Then he pours.

Leeu still wants to swallow, then he spewed that soup out in a wide arc. "Wow, friend Wolf," he says short-breathed, "but your soup is very bad today." "It's from an ostrich's bones," says Wolf. "That bird can kick so violently. Do you want a little bit more?" "No, thank you,"says Leeu," I think I'll go again. "And Jakkals? He cannot swallow it, because it's too hot. And he cannot spit it out, because he is afraid of Wolf. So, he just sits with tears flowing down his cheeks. But when Leeu runs away, he also runs away and empties his mouth behind a bush. And now, as Jakkals waits in the moonlight for Leeu to eat, and he thinks of that soup, he starts crying again.

But listen up.

"Bad soup!" Jakkals cries. "Ostrich soup! Ostrich soup with a kick!" https://chessaleeinlondon.wordpress.com/tag/wolf-and-jackal-stories-afrikaans/

Sop.

Die Mooiste Afrikaanse Sprokies, uitgesoek en oorvertel deur PIETER W. GROBBELAAR.

Die Boesmans het die dierewêreld fyn deurgekyk. Daarom is Leeu vir hulle die sterke, Wolf soos Hiëna dikwels genoem word ‘n wreedaard, en Jakkals ‘n lafhartige bedelaar.

Wolf het ‘n ver pad geloop om by sy broer te gaan kuier. Nou is hy honger en dors. In die veld kry hy Leeu wat aan ‘n sebra lê en eet. ‘n Entjie weg sit Jakkals vir ‘n bietjie oorskiet en wag.

“Naand, Leeu,” sê Wolf vriendelik.

“Mmm,” sê Leeu, en hy kraak ‘n murgbeen oop.

Wolf gaan op sy hurke sit. “Hoe lyk dit, nooi jy my dan nie om ‘n stukkie saam te eet nie?”

“Ja, ja!” sê Jakkals gretig.

“Bly stil!” sê Wolf, en Jakkals gee ‘n paar tree pad.

“Nee,” sê Leeu, en hy skeur aan die boud se sagte vleis.

“Net so ‘n bietjie soppies om op te lek,” vra Wolf. “Ek is baie dors.”

“Ek lek my eie sop,” sê Leeu.

“Net ‘n ou murgbeentjie om af te eet,” soebat Wolf.

“Dè, vat dan!” sê Leeu, en hy gooi vir Wolf die been wat hy nou net self droog gesuig het.

“En wat van my, Leeu ? ” vra Jakkals met ‘n huilstem.

“Trap!” sê Leeu, en hy mik met sy voorvoet.

Jakkals verskuif nog ‘n entjie verder weg.

Wolf vat die been, en hy kou daaraan asof hy tog te lekker kou, en
hy suig daaraan asof daar baie te suig is. Toe staan hy op. “Baie dankie, Leeu,” sê hy. “Ek sal sulke vriendelikheid nie vergeet nie. Kom eet gerus môreaand ‘n bietjie sop by my.
“Dankie, ja,” sê Leeu, en hy lek al klaar sy lippe af, want hy weet Wolf se maats is dood as dit by sop kook kom.

“Dankie, ja!” sê Jakkals asof Wolf hom ook genooi het, en hy gaan lek die droë been af wat Wolf laat agterbly het.

Agter die bultjie kom Wolf op ‘n volstruis af. Dis net vere en voete, en toe begin Wolf weglê. Die stuk wat oorbly, sleep hy saam huis toe. “Eet julle maar die vleis, ” sê hy vir sy vrou en kinders. “Laat bly net die bene vir my.”

Die volgende dag sit Wolf twee potte op die vuur vir die volstruissop. Die een pot haal hy betyds af om koud te word, maar die ander pot hou hy kookwarm.

Dis ook nie te lank nie, of hier kom Leeu aan met Jakkals op sy spoor. “Hoe lyk dit met daardie sop waarvan jy gepraat het, Wolf?” vra Leeu.

“Ja, hoe lyk dit met die sop?” vra Jakkals.

“Kom sit maar hier in die ry,” sê Wolf, en hy beduie waar sy vrou en kinders al wag.

Vrou Wolf hou haar mond oop, en Wolf gooi in, maar dis van die koue pot s’n. So gaan hy van kind tot kind, en hulle drink tog te lekker. Maar toe hy by Leeu en Jakkals kom, skep hy twee bekers van die vuurwarm sop uit.
“Maak wyd oop!” sê hy, en hulle maak so.

Toe gooi hy.

Leeu wil nog sluk, toe spu hy al dat die sop met so ‘n wye boog staan. “Sjoe, vriend Wolf,” sê hy kortasem, “maar jou sop is vandag darem kwaai.”

“Dis van ‘n volstruis se bene,” sê Wolf. “Dié voël kan mos so kwaai skop. Wil jy nog ‘n bietjie hê?”

“Nee, dankie,” sê Leeu, “ek dink ek loop maar weer.”

En Jakkals? Hy kan nie insluk nie, want dis te warm. En hy kan nie uitspu nie, want hy is te bang vir Wolf. Daarom sit hy so met die trane wat oor sy wange loop. Maar toe Leeu wegdraf, draf hy saam, en hy maak sy mond agter ‘n bossie leeg. En nou nog as Jakkals so in die maanskyn wag dat Leeu klaar moet eet, en hy dink aan daardie sop, dan begin hy sommer van nuuts af huil.

Luister maar mooi.

“Kwaai sop!” tjank Jakkals. “Volstruissop! Volstruissop met ‘n skop!”
