My mom said this story about one of her cousins. The cousin was relatively young in those days. Her mother once asked her to bring "Lobongo (Cloves)". She asked the cousin to go quickly and get it from the shop. The little girl had no idea what "Lobongo (Cloves)" was. She heard "Lobon (Salt)" and "Go (She couldn't understand what was that)." The cousin wanted to be clear about it, but her mother didn't have time to listen, so she pushed the causing outside and reminded her to bring it quickly, because she was cooking something.
The girl went to the shop. We don't know how she asked or what she asked for. The shopkeeper gave her salt. She brings it home and gives it to her mother. Her mother took the packet and opened it and was surprised. She asked, why did you get "Lobon (salt)"? I asked you to bring to "Lobongo (cloves)." The girl made her point very strongly that she had asked for "Go" too, but the shopkeeper didn't give it to her!
