Luwodo Wudune (About the Luwodo)

Translation

We make baskets from the luwodo tree. We bring the luwodo seeds, we travel with them. The thick skin of the seeds is hard/tough. We scratch the skin with stones but we do not pierce it. Then we find another low area where water can gather after rain. There we dig holes and put the seeds into the holes and cover them with dirt. Spirits willing, more luwodo plants sprout from the ground.
