He drunk milk and ate dung from his cow. One day kintu was wandering in wilderness and so a beautiful lady known as Nambi . He admired the lady and asked her to marry him. Nambi  was Guru's(heaven) daughter. Nambi  had two brothers that is kayikuzi and Walumbe(god of death). Nambi  accepted to marry Kintu and they arranged and visited Guru nambi's  father. When they arrived to guru's palace, Guru welcomed them. Kintu introduced him self to Guru and that he wanted to marry his daughter. Guru accepted but he established tasks for kintu. Guru asked kintu to bring him water in a basket. Kintu fulfilled his task and went on the well to fetch water. He drew the basket in the well but nothing could be fetched in the basket. Kintu got luck and a spider webbed the basket and kintu fetched water to Guru.
