After her father died, she lived alone with her mother. One day her mother decided that they would move to another village to start a new life. Tselane did not want to leave her old village and she started to cry.  \nHer mother was scared to leave her daughter alone because giants lived in the caves nearby that village. But Tselane cried so much that her mother finally agreed that she could stay behind.  \nTselane’s mother told her that she would bring food every day. She said,“I will sing a song so that you know it’s me. Don’t open the door for anyone else, my child.”  \nShe sang the song:  \n\"Tselane my child! Tselane my child! Come out and eat your porridge! Come out and eat your porridge!\"  \nThe next morning Tselane’s mother came to the house with food. She sang their special song. Tselane opened the door and took her mother’s delicious food. Then her mother kissed her and went back to her new home.  \nA giant was hiding in the bushes, watching and listening to Tselane and her mother! After Tselane switched off her light that night, she heard a deep voice singing her mother’s song outside the door.  \n\"Tselane my child! Come out and eat your porridge!\" sang the giant.  \n“Go away! You are not my mother! You are agiant!” shouted Tselane.  \nThe giant walked away disappointed and disappeared into the caves. Every morning and every evening, Tselane’s mother brought her food. Every morning and every evening, the giant also came. But each time Tselane sent him away. She recognised his deep voice as he sang her mother’s song.","cbCaiiHdBlX5tzz8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiHdBlX5tzz8","pdf",21724565,20,"English","en",105,"# Story Setup\n## The move to a new village\n## The secret song and the warning\n# The giant's attempts\n## The giant sings outside the door\n## Tselane refuses and sends him away","[{\"question\":\"Why does Tselane’s mother decide to move to another village?\",\"answer\":\"After her father died, Tselane lived with her mother, and one day her mother decided they would move to another village to start a new life.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Tselane’s mother use to make Tselane recognize her?\",\"answer\":\"She sings a special song so Tselane will know it’s her.
