Tadulako Bulili

After the king saw the girl, he was extremely happy. She was very beautiful. He
was in love with her. And he thought that she would be a perfect queen for him.The
king did not want to waste time. He asked the girl to marry him. The girl agreed.
And the wedding was immediately set.After they got married, the king and the girl
lived in Bulili. At first they lived happily. However slowly, they started to have
arguments. They always quarreled about small things. And that made the king
unhappy. He wanted to go back to his kingdom. He told his wife that he had to take
care of his kingdom. Then he left. He did not know that when he left, his wife was

Pregnant.
Nine months after the king left the village his baby was born. The head of the
village asked Tadulako Bantaili and Tadulako Makeku to go to the palace.
Meanwhile, Tadulako Molove stayed at the village. The head of the village asked
Tadulako Bantaili and Tadulako Makeku to go to the palace to see the king. First
they had to tell him that his baby was born and second they asked the king to give
some rice for the baby.

"Really? I have a son?" said the king when Tadulako Bantaili told him about his
baby.
The king did not like the news. Apparently he did not love his wife anymore and
wanted to leave her forever.

"No! I will not give you any rice!" replied the king when Tadulako Makeku asked
him to give some rice for the baby.

“Forgive us, your majesty, you give us no other choice. We eill take the rice with or
without your permission” said Tadulako.

Tadulako Bantaili and Tadulako Makeku left the palace and went to the rice barn.
with their power, they lifted the rice barn easily and brought it to the Bulili village.
The king was angry! He asked his soldiers to chase them and bring the rice barn
back. The Tadulako ran very fast and when they arrived at the river, they jumped
and landed at the other side of the river easily. The soldiers could not do anything.
They did not have any power to jump across the river. And they went back to Sigi
disappointingly.
