Did you say that was Badibou ? Wolf is the most dorminant character in our folk tales. 
 How about when wolf was yawning and was asked if he hungry or thirsty or sleepy ? He answer was  " I slept near the well" . Which means he was neither thirty nor sleepy thus was hungry

It was an opportunity for him to have all the fat goats to himself. “All the fat goats will be mine. Deny the fact who can?” he would cry.

At first, the visiting neighbors too expected some share of the meat as is the norm but suspicious of Buukee’s nature. Soon Buukee would hatch a plan. Buukee divided the meat into three portions. He said:“Bee-pur buukee” (The first portion belongs to Buukee);“Bee-pur kuu yaayam dei” (The second portion belongs to the one that lost the mother);“Bee-kuu jehkah gheeroh” (The third portion belongs to the one that first lay hands on it.” Before Buukee completed his last statement, he already had his hands on the third portion.
