Kiir was found in the river. And Iul found him.
Iul and his tribe were hunting on the shore. Suddenly a large pumpkin, a spear and an animal skin fell from the sky into the river. The pumpkin was very large, larger than a person. Iul said to his people:
- Bring me a pumpkin.
But everyone was scared, because the pumpkin was very big. Only Iul was not afraid. He pulled the pumpkin, spear and skin ashore. Seeing this, all the people ran away in fear, and he remained alone near the pumpkin. Iul cut the pumpkin and it split in half. First, seeds fell out of it, and then Kiir came out.
Iul gave him the spear and the skin and said:
- Come with me to the village.
But Kiir refused. Iul left alone.
Kiir remained in the forest. He cast magic and hunted. With his magic spear he pierced the hearts of elephants and rhinoceroses. He was a powerful sorcerer and hunter.
Soon people came to Kiir and began to beg him:
- Come with us to the village! We'll give you a girl. At first Kiir did not agree. But people asked so earnestly that in the end he agreed. In the village, Kiir was given a wife, and she bore him many children. Now Kiir has a big family. And all his children are Nuer.
