"I think the man who put the package able to fly," said Togo to himself.

Togo pointed to the bundle and Undan nosedive as lightning-fast. Togo took the parcel. While the package was taken, a few arrows hit to them, but Undan flew more faster than the arrows. There was a male's voice who was furious, "Restore the package!" Togo looked back. "My God! We chased by the flying dragon!", shouted Togo. There was a man who ride a flying dragon. "He is Keko, the witch!" The dragon fire was put out of his mouth, gush toward them. Undan flew faster, but the dragon chase them at high speed.

The dragon could not turn and they were stuck by the waterfall. The dragon's fire was extinguished. Fatal, the dragon and the witch fell into a ravine under the waterfall. The dragon turned into smoke and Keko dead. Togo and Undan went home and the white bundle was given to the tribal leader. "By Keko this herb will be use to animate the ancient animals, but the herb also able to treat the wounded," said the physician. Then, the wounded were treated, magically, they recover as usual. They were rejoiced.

"Thank you, The Swan Rider," they said.

"What gifts we can give for you as a reward?" asked the tribal leader.

Togo answered, "I do not expect anything, I'm looking for a poem of the Prophet."

sought every effort,

to plunge the human into hell,

Adam lonely no friends,

God merciful to him,

then created from his ribs,

the first woman named Eve,

they live happily in heaven,

Allah told them: do not eat the kuldi fruit,

but the devil in disguise snake lying,

he persuaded them: "Please, eat the kuldi fruit,

so you are become immortal",

God's wrath: the earth where you wander,

then Adam and Eve were expelled from the heaven,

they separate and then meet again at Arafat,

Allah raised him to be a prophet,

after that their children were born,

pair as twins: men and women,

Abel behave gentle and generous,

but Cain behave rudely,

when his brother in happy always upset,

one day he ambushed his brother,

he took a stone killed Abel,

the earth and the heavens weep,

to see the first human murder,

at the same time,

crows competed with each other,

until the one was dead,

the alive crow made a burrows in the ground,

he buried the corpses,

qobil who confusion then imitate its doing,

Abel's body also buried in the ground,

now, Adam's grandchildrens were multiply,

scattered in many nations,

with different languages,

in the universe as a brother
