Description 10A RPP Ray 13 Wasag Story of Peter Posa. (Introduced, not traditional. This is a variation on Charles Perrault's 'Le Petit Poucet'.) -- 10A WWM̄ Nightingale Webster Liar Vētuboso/ Wasag Traditional story about two couples who promise that the son of one, Wōwut, will marry the daughter of the other, M̄eter, when they come of age. The two never saw each other, but were locked in their houses, until one day, when Wōwut was practising shooting, he shot an arrow outside and M̄eter saw him. Another girl also saw him and convinced him to let her go with him. The parents got upset and sent for M̄eter, and they all went to work in the garden together. M̄eter felt rejected and while they were working she ran down to the sea and drowned herself. Wōwut tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen so he went home and hung himself, leaving his parents and the young woman. -- 10B BNR Brenden Malau Vētuboso (Laln̄evut) Traditional story about a rat and a hermit crab who go and collect sea almonds. The rat finishes its share first and keeps asking for more from the hermit crab until it finally refuses.

An old woman then comes and sews him up. -- 10B DPR Kathy Doris Vētuboso Photo description of reef and fish. -- 10B DSR Diana Wasag Traditional story of Ragargarsiler, a woman from the sea.

Neither she nor the wife are happy about this, but they stay, and the next day he goes to the taro garden and sends them to dig up yams. He tells his wife not to let Ragargarsiler dig a long kind of yam, but his wife disobeys. She tries and tries to dig it up, but in the end it breaks. The wife gets cross with her for breaking their yam and beats her, then leaves her and goes home. The husband returns and looks for Ragargarsiler, but she goes back into the sea and turns back into a fish. The man goes home and kills his wife and lives alone. -- 10B GNR Gōsōw Atchfield Vētuboso Traditional story about a hermit crab and a rat.
