| Description | A lot of sugarcane was ground in order to ferment it, and then they went to fish in a very big pond. In the center of the pond was a tree called nosegdi, and they all began to play by throwing themselves into the water from it, all except for the old man who was to afraid and stayed back. Suddenly he saw that a huge alligator kept coming back and forth, as though he wanted to relay a message to him, and finally, the man got on board on his spine and the alligator transported him back to the ground. Afterwards, they killed a wild beast of the pond. |
