Alipomaliza kazi yake alilipwa ujira wake na akaenda zake.Siku iliyofuata Adili alienda kwa Wema na kumpatia kitita cha pesa. Pesa hizi zilikuwa zaidi ya malipo ya kupaka rangi. Wema alishangaa na kumwambia Adili kuwa alikuwa ameshamlipa pesa zake. Wema alimwambia kuwa pesa hizo zilikuwa za kuziba shimo lililokuwa chini ya boti.
Wema alimwambia Adili kuwa hakufaa kumlipa tena kwani hiyo ilikuwa huduma ndogo sana ambayo haikufaa kulipwa pesa hizo zote. Adili alimwambia kuwa hakujua alichomfanyia.

Aliporudi alishtuka kuona wamechukua boti. Alifikiri wangezama ziwani.
Alipowaona wamerudi moyo wake ulijawa na furaha kubwa. Alikagua boti na kuona hakukuwa na shimo. Wema alikuwa ameokoa maisha ya watoto wake. Alimwambia hivi akitokwa na machozi ya furaha.

So he sent for all the wise men in the country and foreseers, and marched them with all his slaves through the country's towns. Before he started, he held a big meeting and told them to point out any slave who had a bad heart, and who might kill him when he came to rule the country. Then the wise men and foreseers consulted together, and pointed out fifty of the slaves who, they said, were witches, and would try to kill the king.
