Time came, kolang Toat had his beautiful hard-working wife named Nyachom. They officially married and progressively had their awesome boy called Camkuan. They live in their beautiful home located in Toch, south of Pangak County, previously known as Laak in central Nuer land. Doing family chores, Nyachom became a booming woman. She cook food whose aroma and utility level attract any hidden treasury from Kolang's local banking. But one day wisdom didn't favor Nyachom when her husband brought and handover the meat she were told to Cook well as usual.

As she received the meat and began placing it on fire, within a short time something came to her mind where she immediately left to get a broom leaving a unwell covered meat outside the house. On her foot to the house, one dog popped up from nowhere, grabbed the meat and run away with it, Nyachom couldn't match the running speed and overcome the dog. She said aaah God, "Nyachom is dead today," she lament. She miserably hold her chin while looking at the dog's speed and finally gave up, she resort to getting Gattoat's spear and surrendered her throat to be cut by her husband Gattoat, asking him to simply chop off her neck before narrating the whole story. Her husband Kolang wondered and asked her why? She replied; everything about today house’s chores is troubled my husband, just get your spear and kill me straight away.

Gattoat insisted: I can't do that my wife; Could you kindly explain why? This time, Nyachom chose to confess what happened in fear, saying "honey, the meat you gave me to cook was carried by a dog, as we speak, the meat is no longer available." Kolang could not breathe or bear to hear the entire thing. His attitude instantly shifted, and his need for meat overcame his conscience's ability to accept it; he couldn't wait any longer. He replied with hate and a gloomy face, saying eeheej this isn't a simple mistake Nyachom my wife, it is a clear murder, for you truly deserves to meet your early grave, he ruled his case. He tried to grab his spear but he found Nyachom became the first to grab it, and escaped on the tree with it. There was no alternative.

However, when he saw Nyachom ascending the tree, he couldn't give up and rushed to grab his sharpened axe, sawing down the tree while Nyachom implored Hamlet for aid. The entire town heard the cries and ran to aid Nyachom, but he ignored them. Then, one clever individual who was watching the whole incident from a far utilised his reasoning powers to go collect one of his fat goats from home and present it to Gattoat, as he was also pleading on NYACHOM's behalf for pardon.

This time, Gattoat look at the Goat and dropped his Axe as he sharply addressed the approaching man: "What are you saying young man?" The clever man responded with a smile: Gattoat, I brought this goat for you so that you can slaughter it whenever you want, and let your beautiful wife Nyachom cook it for you, thank you, I'm going back to my home because that's what brought me here, the man said while leaving. He just looked at the man and complimented, haa, this man is completely carnage, he knows exactly how to deal an anger.

Any way, the goat did look like a true meat, He said as he urged Nyachom to bless the man who brought the goat. He told her You're safe. You may now come down the tree and make my meal really quickly since I'm even starving. Nyachom descended from the tree and resumed her cooking work with caution. And Nyachom was safe.
