Description:Audio recording and transcription/translation of Kris Pokisel telling the traditional Tewi clan story of a hermit crab and a rat. Synopsis: Hermit crab and rat were paddling together and spearing fish. When rat speared a fish, hermit crab would just dive in and eat it so the spear came up with nothing on it. They paddled against the waves and one wave smashed their canoe to pieces. The hermit crab simply crawled along the sea bed up to the beach, but the rat was in trouble. He got on top of a stone and waited. He called out to the shark to give him a ride, but the shark told him his canoe wasn’t big enough, and he left. This happened over and over again with different fish, until finally the turtle told him to hop on board. As they were paddling, the sea hit the turtle’s bum and it farted. The rat asked him, “What was that?” And the turtle told him, “Don’t worry, the sea hit my bum and my bum farted.” This happened over and over again as they were paddling on, until eventually the rat got off. Today you see lots of rats around here, in the bush and the garden and the kitchen, and they eat all the food.
