Description

Traditional narrative by Billy Poikiiki telling the story of a grandmother and her two grandkids, going into the bush to gather wild fowl eggs and gathering snake eggs by mistake. The snake then chases them down to the beach, where the grandmother and grandkids take refuge inside a common local edible shell, the sisa or nerite. The story concludes by saying that today, as Lelepa people eat this shell, they in fact eat the grandmother and her two grandchildren who got inside the sisa to escape the snake.
