A.L.A.Maartens (Oom Laurie) wrote a story, included in the booklet, about an exploit his father had with a bobbejaan in 1894. It starts as follows: “My oorlede vader Joachim Hendrik Maartens, was die oudste seun uit ‘n familie van twaalf kinders, sewe seuns en vyf dogters, waarvan twee dogters ouer as hy was. Op die ouderdom van sewentien jaar, dit was in die jaar 1894 het hy ‘n groot uitegroeide bobbejaan mannetjie met sy kaal hande gevang.”
