They tell it in Liberia, the one about that man Jeboo who lived in the next village over, and that woman also named Jeboo who lived there. Jeboo (it doesn't matter which) had but one eye, one ear and one leg and foot. As did the other Jeboo. Well, nobody wanted to marry them so they married each other and moved away from the village and started their own farm, where they grew an abundance of food and were very happy. After a time their relatives found out about how well they were doing and showed up asking woman Jeboo for some food. She shared with them, but secretly, until her husband found out and blew his stack, infuriated that she would share with those who had previously shunned them. In his outrage he drove her away from the farm (she went back to live with her relatives) and he remained alone and wept until the end of his days.

They also tell it, the one about the hunter who lived with his mother and who killed only elephants, and how one day all the elephants got together and decided they must find out why he killed only elephants and how he was never himself harmed. They turned one of themselves into a beautiful girl, whom the hunter encountered when next he was out hunting and immediately fell in love with. She told him she was lost and asked if she could go with him; so he brought her home, and when he told his mother what had happened she was pleased.

That night the girl pretended to love him very dearly. While rubbing his back she asked him why he killed only elephants. Now the hunter had a secret and he began to reveal this secret to his girlfriend: "When I shoot an elephant I turn into a stump. When I shoot another, I turn into a bird. If another is shot I turn into grass, and if still another is shot I turn into a lizard." Then just as he was about to tell the last of the secret, his mother called out to him, "Say no more because you do not know who this girl is."

The next day the girl snuck away for a bit and ran to the elephants and spilled the beans about all she had learned. And so, three weeks later when the man went out to hunt and shot an elephant, this time after he changed into a stump all the elephants chased the stump. He shot another elephant and changed into a bird. The elephants chased the bird, so another elephant was shot and he turned into grass. The elephants continued to chase him so he shot another and turned into a lizard. By now the elephants were intent on chasing him no matter what. The hunter ran into a garden, shot an elephant and immediately turned into an eggplant. The elephants were unable to find him, and being tired and angry they turned on the girl, trumpeting that she had deceived them. The elephants killed her for not having found out the hunter's entire secret.
