| Synopsis | The Martins have a Farm Assistance Program task at the village of Gelwa but Ruth publicly embarasses a witch doctor on the docks when she urges him to use sanitary methods selling and dispensing his goat milk. In retaliation for his humiliation, the witch doctor tries to kill the Martins with magic, throws a piece of poisoned meat through the window for Lassie, and sabotages a rickety bridge the Martins must cross as they return to the village from a gift-buying trip to Unshi. The bridge holds until the Martins cross, but the witch doctor stumbles between a hippopotamus and a crocodile in his confusion and only escapes the danger with Lassie's help. Ruth presents the witch doctor with a new aluminum pail, ladle, paper cups, and stool. |
