Description:Two men were digging g//xaru (Lapeirousia bainesii) roots. One of them was named Eyes-on-his-Ankles. At night they lay down to sleep. The other man saw that Eyes-on-his-Ankles had no eyes on his face, and wondered where his eyes were. He flicked sand on his face but no eyes blinked. He flicked sand on his wrists, but no eyes blinked there. Then he flicked sand on his ankles, and there, the eyes blinked. "Aha," he said, "are this person's eyes placed on his ankles?" The slept and in the morning went to dig g//xaru again. When the sun was going down, the man told Eyes-on-his-Ankles to drop his g//xaru and let him roast it. Then he went and chopped a long wooden paddle, and put it into the fire to heat. Meanwhile Eyes-on-his-Ankles was wrapping up his g//xaru in little bundles and coming back and dropping it for the man to roast, but was trying to stand far away. Nevertheless the man burned his eyes with the hot fire paddle so that they split open, and knocked him down and roasted him along with the g//xaru.
