A Zulu Tale
THE GRAVE-ROBBER
By Sikhwelesine Ngcobo
At a wedding, the bride hears the sounds of mourning as a person is being buried. The bride wants to join the mourners, to which her husband finally reluctantly agrees. She digs up the corpse and carries it away. A pattern is developed as she does so: she repetitively sings a song. She hides the corpse, then returns home. The groom, who has followed her and seen all this, concludes that he has married a witch; he will not sleep with her.
