In the early days, Jallerri was an old man and Featherfoot was a tribal elder and clever man (mabarn). Jallerri married the wrong way - he went against the law. Jallerri tried to run away from that law, but Featherfoot found him - you cannot get away from a Mabarn like Featherfoot. Featherfoot killed that man Jallerri. He cut him into pieces and put him in a hollow log, which he sealed with an ant pit on either end.
