(if we're in the garden or doing work we talk to god [mohis agabi] and say what we're doing, we might cut ourselves, or there could be a snake or centipede and we ask him to look after us in the garden and we cut the garden)

2: 0:00:43
(anytime, morning,z afternoon, when we're working)

3: 0:00:59
(the sick person will put his thinking, if it's a sickness that just hits for no reason we put our sorry, we put our sorry and put things right. when you pray do you do it out loud? sometimes out loud and sometimes in our heads.)

4: 0:01:44
(yes we pray and sing)

5: 0:02:08
(the man going for the meat will have his own thinking. some will think and do that, others will just go)

6: 0:02:34
(we just talk and leave it. sometimes god hears and might give us what we ask for)

7: 0:02:56
(god hears. god hears both good and bad people. does god do work when he hears prayer, does he follow it? we think that god hears, but sometimes decides not to give us what we ask for, a true person who asks might get what they ask for. if he doesn't give we know we aren't good.)

8: 0:04:02
(some of our ancestors did that, and some of our fathers, but we heard the talk and we don't do it. wanwan person does it now if they think about it, but we don't normally see it. do you give food to god? no we don't give, we just talk. we eat the food)
