Mabu's mother fearfully passes on Hamasai's warning that Somali slavers are about, as Mabu goes alone in the woods to harvest his father's honey. He is captured by Arab Somali slavers who free him when they interpret an eclipse to be doomsday. Mabu hopes to return home before the world ends. The eclipse dissipates. Mabu's mother greets him with relief at his homecoming. Mabu tells Hamasai he is ready for punishment, but his father says there will be no further punishment. Mabu understands.
