A crowd of villagers (youth and drummers) excitedly come to tell Sidi the news about her picture being on the front page of the magazine and how beautiful she looked, 'You looked as if the sun himself had been your lover'. The Bale becomes jealous as his picture is small and placed in a corner somewhere inside the magazine. Sidi takes this to mean thst she is more important than the Bale and so sees Lankule as not worthy of her as a wife.

when the magazine hit the village,the villagers ran to Cidi and gave her the magzine and informed her that the lost traveller had returned; cidi then became excited and sadiuk the head wife of boroka had a request to cidi to be his head wife but cidi refuses because he was old and because she knew he only proposed because of her new founded fame and she also refuses to married lunkule, the school teacher, becuase if she had married him she believed that she will once again be less popular than the bale.
