| Description | This person was fishing with the guts of animals that he had hunted, and soon he was swallowed by a fish. His wife arrived, crying, to her parents-in-law's house; after several days her husband appeared again. When he began to sing, like performing the curing ritual, the spirits appeared as clear as real animals. Another spirit, who was very bad, took notice and challenged him, but the student of the fish killed him, and this was, he was able to restore the peace for the whole world.
