Description
Traditional story about twin brothers, Mõlio & Marinõ. Their parents died and they lived with their grandmother. One day they went fishing for flying fish and left their grandmother. They buried her in a hole in the house so that if a devil came it wouldn't find her. They told her that if a devil came to steal their chickens, then she should just stay quietly. She disobeyed and shouted at the devil when it came stealing the chickens. The devil tried to dig her out of the hole, but she sang a song to her grandchildren who heard and came racing back, just in time to save her. They shoot the devil and have fish for dinner.

Description
Traditional story about a swamphen and a rat who went together to eat Malay apples. They argued about who should climb the tree and in the end the rat climbed. Before the rat threw fruit down to the swamphen, first it would shit and urinate in it. Then it threw down a very ripe red apple which landed on the swamphen's head to make its beak and frontal shield red. When the rat was climbing down, the swamphen took a Cordyline leaf and stuck it in the rat's bottom as a tail. (Variation of item CH1-200209-BFRN.)
