Title Tapuka oluka koy kuriapongoy ‘Old man climbing up a coconut tree’
Description This string figure represents an old man climbing up a coconut tree. The figure itself is especially entertaining because the figure of the ‘man’ is moved up and down the ‘trunk’. The string figure-maker says that the man is climbing the coconut tree, reaches the top, pulls off a coconut, and climbs down again. As this ‘climbing’ with the figure is a lot of fun, the string figure-maker does it several times, saying: “… and he’s going up again…”
