Description

This is a traditional Minyong story about əʔom 'fairie; non-human' and tanii 'the first man'. They are cast as two brothers, əʔom being named roobo and tani being named niibo. The two brothers were having trouble getting along, as ɲiibo would outwit roobo in any task they undertook. So, they set out to find out who was ultimately the more capable. The purpose of the story is to explain how and why it was that humans and spirits came to live apart from one another despite their intertwined existence, and also shows how human beings have a greater potential to master nature.
