My Maternal Grandfather Said 11
My Maternal Grandfather said --II
....................................
Mousa was eighty metres tall!
And had a habit of carrying a stick --
some forty metres long!
Ooj Bin Anukh , the great giant ,
Laid his leg across the Nile river
And asked his sister
"Let you see what happened to my heel ,
This shortman Mousa has hit me there hard!"
And as she held his foot in her lap ,
Both were dead ...by the will of God!
Brother here and sister across .
Now you imagine the height of Ooj Bin Anukh, the great giant !
Mousa jumped 40 metres high and could hit him on knee!
Since then , the leg has been a bridge
Across the Nile river .
