Davidson  \nThis is the story of Togar, the Honeyguide, and agreedy young man named Gartee. One day while Gartee was out hunting he heard the call of Togar. Gartee's mouth began to water at the thought of honey. He stopped and listened carefully, searching until he saw the bird in the branches above his head.\"Chitik-chitik-chitik,\" the little bird rattled, as he flew to the next tree, and the next.  \n\"Chitik, chitik, chitik,\" he called, stopping from time to time to be sure that Gartee followed.  \nAfter half an hour, they reached a huge wild fig tree. Togar hopped about madly among the branches. He then settled on one branch and cocked his head at Gartee as if to say, \"Here it is! Come now! What is taking you so long?\"  \nGartee couldn't see any bees from under the tree, but he trusted Togar.  \nSo Gartee put down his hunting spear under the tree, gathered some dry twigs and made a small fire. When the fire was burning well, he put a long dry stick into the heart of the fire. This wood was especially known to make lots of smoke while it burned. He began climbing, holding the cool end of the smoking stick in his teeth.  \nSoon he could hear the loud buzzing of the busy bees. They were coming in and out of a hollow in the tree trunk – their hive. When Gartee reached the hive he pushed the smoking end of the stick into the hollow. The bees came rushing out, angry and mean. They flew away because they didn’t like the smoke – but not before they had given Gartee some painful stings!  \nWhen the bees were out, Gartee pushed his hands into the nest. He took out handfuls of the heavy comb, dripping with rich honey and full of fat, white grubs. He put the comb carefully in the pouch he carried on his shoulder, and started to climb down the tree.  \nTogar eagerly watched everything that Gartee was doing. He was waiting for him to leave a fat piece of honeycomb as a thank-you offering to the Honeyguide. Togar flittered from branch to branch, closer and closer to the ground. Finally Gartee reached the bottom of the tree. Togar perched on a rock near the boy and waited for his reward.","cbCaiqpaybSTdLPP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqpaybSTdLPP","pdf",19399668,2,16,"English","en",105,"# Story of Togar and Gartee\n## The bird’s guidance and the hunt\n## Smoke trick and bee stings\n## Honeycomb retrieval and the waiting reward","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in The Honeyguide's Revenge?\",\"answer\":\"The story centers on Togar, the honeyguide, and Gartee, an eager and greedy young man who goes hunting.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Gartee get the honey from the hive?\",\"answer\":\"He makes a small fire, uses a smoking stick to drive the bees away, then reaches into the hive to collect the honeycomb and grubs.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Togar expect from Gartee at the end?\",\"answer\":\"Togar watches and waits for Gartee to leave a fat piece of honeycomb as a thank-you offering.\"}]",1784315089,25,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"the-honeyguides-revenge-zulu-folktale-honey-hunting-story","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-honeyguides-revenge-zulu-folktale-honey-hunting-story/92303/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-25","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Who are the main characters in The Honeyguide's Revenge?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The story centers on Togar, the honeyguide, and Gartee, an eager and greedy young man who goes hunting.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How does Gartee get the honey from the hive?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"He makes a small fire, uses a smoking stick to drive the bees away, then reaches into the hive to collect the honeycomb and grubs.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What does Togar expect from Gartee at the end?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Togar watches and waits for Gartee to leave a fat piece of honeycomb as a thank-you offering.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
