Synopsis

Mabu waits while his father, Hamasai, is away. Mother says cow is gone missing. Mabu is distracted by a huge agama lizard, covets its hide for the gorgeous colors. Agama escapes. Mabu recovers the cow. One afternoon Mabu spears the lizard, and cries. Hamasai, come home just that moment, asks him why he cries. The agama is dead and its pretty colors are all gone! Only when something is alive is it beautiful, Father says. Mabu recalls Hamasai has been gone many long weeks, runs to clasp his hand. Hamasai says their flesh is delicious; you have provided the means for a feast.

Indexer Notes

Du Bois submitted the script to his editor under a different title, as attested by the Account Books entry, "Mabu's Home Coming. text for Tarzan, July issue. Sent December 3, 1949." The story content confirms that "Home Coming" is the same as the Gigantic Lizard story; it is Hamasai, Mabu's father who comes home.
