The narrative recounts a problem faced by the village of Bayele, which was being terrorized by a nasty jackal that frightened children at night and attempted to steal chickens. In response, the villagers constructed a special house with seven doors to safeguard their children. Once the house was complete, the children and chickens were moved inside, and the villagers set out to find the jackal. The story details the jackal's attempts to enter the house, its booming knocks on the doors, and the children's clever silence. The jackal, employing a sly tactic, eventually knocked gently and spoke softly, asking where the adults had gone. A young girl, mistaking the jackal for a neighbor, revealed they had gone to look for him.
