| Description: | Audio recording and transcription/translation of John Kris Hinduwan telling a traditional story from the Tewi clan of a woman and her children, a sea eagle, and a snake. Synopsis: There was an old woman who was lonely, so she decided to make herself some children. She made them by dripping blood from her finger into two seashells and burying them under a tree. She waited and after a week one of the shells began to hatch and she saw a small fat leg sticking out. Five days later an eagle appeared at her front door, and she was very happy. She took good care of him, teaching him how to eat and fly, and he grew strong. When he was strong enough he would fly to catch fish for them, and they were very happy with each other. But the old woman worried about the eagle’s sibling, which still had not hatched. Soon the other shell hatched into a snake. But the snake was lazy and the old woman got angry. She asked the eagle to build them a house in the tree, and they left the snake at the bottom of the tree and just threw their food scraps down for him to eat. Eventually the old woman died, and the eagle buried her and he died too, and who knows what happened to the snake. | |
