Read the following lines from "Sunjata."
When the Mande women were told about it,
They gathered together again under the Mande baobab tree.
They said, "It is one thing to give birth to a son,
And another thing for him to survive."
What did they do again?
Through sorcery they stretched the tendons of his two feet.
They confined him to the ground.
What can the reader most likely conclude about the Mande women?
