Once upon a time, there lived a very wealthy woman in a small village. She lived
alone in a very big house. Her wealth was plentiful, but she very greedy so people called her
Bagenda Endit, Ashe bas a greedy wealthy woman.

“I’m the richest woman in this village. Oh no one can match all my wealth. There is
nothing I love more than my wealth. I’m happy with all my wealth. Ha..ha..ha. This jewelry it
is so shiny. I’ll not let anyone take it. The gold, diamond, and all of this there’s the only one I
need. No one richer than me, no one can take all my wealth. No one can take a little cent
from me. And all I care is only all my wealth. No one can take, no one can take any of
them”. That was what she thought about. She didn’t care with the people around her,
although they were very poor and were starving.

One day, a very old woman came to her and asked for help. She said, “Bagenda Endit,
please help me. My son has never had any food for days. we are starving.” “Hi, the ugly old
woman! Get away from me! I don’t care with you or your son. Whether you are starving or
even dying, it is not my bussiness.” Bagenda Endit shouted. The old woman didn’t move
from Bagenda Endit sight so Bagenda Endit splashed the woman with some water. Splash!
And all over the old woman body and her baby became wet. Baginda Endit was a feeling less
woman. She didn’t even have a little bit mercy to the old woman and her baby. She even got
more angry. She forced the old woman to get out of her yard. “Hi...hi..hi! what such a foolish
woman! Who does she think she is, so that she comes to me for a help.”

Although Bagenda Endit was very miserly, the villagers kept coming in. They came
for asked the water wheel. “Ha...ha...ha you are all stupid! You think you just can take the
water from my wheel? No, I won’t let you to take away the water from my wheel! The water
in the wheel is mine!” said Bagenda Endit while she was watching the thirst villagers outside
the fence.

A few days later, a very old man, with a stick to walk, came to Bagenda Endit and
asked for some water. “Have mercy on me Bagenda Endit! please give me some water. I am
so thirsty. If you don’t mine I will take the water from your wheel.” Asked the old man.
“Hey, the poor old man. I don’t want you to take my water. Any drop of my water is only for
me. No one can take any of them. Go away!” said Bagenda Endit.

With a hurt, the old man went by, he used his stick to walk. He stopped by the
Bagenda Endit’s house yard. He put his stick and shouted, “Bagenda Endit, you don’t want to
loose any drop of your water. Now I will give you more water.”

He took his stick out of the ground. Suddenly the water came out, bursted into the air.
Continuously, the water kept coming out of the ground and flooding it all. “What is this?
Where does all this water came from? No! My treasure! My treasure will drown! No!” Said
Bagenda Endit while she trying to save her wealth.

It swept all over the village and it turned into a lake. Bagenda Endit was drowned
with all of her wealth. So, now people called the lake Situ Bagendit.
