The fury of Chu bu knew no time limit: he was furious all that night, and next day he was furious still. THE FURY OF CHEBAH KNEW NO TIME LIMIT HE WAS FURIOUS ALL THAT NIGHT AND NEXT DAY HE WAS FURIOUS STILL
 chant, "There is none but Chu-bu." And all the people rejoiced and cried out, "There is none but Chu-bu." And honey was offered to Chu-bu, and maize and fat. Thus was he magnified. Chu-bu was an idol of some antiquity, as may be seen from the colour of the wood. He had been carved out of mahogany, and after he was carved he had been polished. Then they had set him up on the diorite pedestal with the brazier in front of it for burning spices and the flat gold plates for fat. Thus they worshipped Chu-bu. He must have been there for over a hundred years when one day the priests came in with another idol into the temple of Chu-bu, and set it up on a pedestal near Chu-bu's and sang, "There is also Sheemish." And all the people rejoiced and cried out, "There is also Sheemish." Sheemish was palpably a modern idol, and although the wood was stained with a dark-red dye, you could see that he had only just been carved. And honey was offered to Sheemish as well as Chu-bu, and also maize and fat. BAH FOR THE PRIEST TO ENTER AT EVENING ENCHANT THERE IS NONE BUT SHABBAH AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND CRIED OUT THERE IS NONE BUT CHEBAH AND HONEY WAS OFFERED TO CHIBAH AND MAIZE AND FAT THUS WAS HE MAGNIFIED CHIBO WAS AN IDOL OF SOME ANTIQUITY AS MAY BE SEEN FROM THE COLOUR OF THE WOOD HE HAD BEEN CARVED OUT OF MAHOGANY AND AFTER HE WAS CARVED HE HAD BEEN POLISHED THEN THEY HAD SET HIM UP ON THE DIARITE PEDESTAL WITH THE BRAZIER IN FRONT OF IT FOR BURNING SPICES AND THE FLAT GOLD PLATE FOR FAT THUS THEY WORSHIPPED CHEBAH HE MUST HAVE BEEN THERE FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS WHEN ONE DAY THE PRIEST CAME IN WITH ANOTHER IDOL INTO THE TEMPLE OF CHEBAH AND SET IT UP ON A PEDESTAL NEAR CHEBAZ AND SAYING THERE IS ALSO SHEISH AND ALL THE PEOPLE REJOICED AND CRIED OUT THERE IS ALSO SHEISH SHEMISH WAS PALPABLY A MODERN IDOL AND ALTHOUGH THE WOOD WAS STAINED WITH A DARK RED DYE YOU COULD SEE THAT HE HAD ONLY JUST BEEN CARVED AND HONEY WAS OFFERED TO SHEMISH AS WELL AS CHOBA AND ALSO MAIZE AND FAT
