2. Small story about dance
Long time ago, our ancestors, when they made the kundu (dance), a chief would fast for a week and then they would dance. The dance will go,go,go until it really finishes. Then the next year, they will make gardens until it is really finished and then they will put a sticks in the middle of the village. Then they go and get bananas and coconut, sugarcane, betelnut, Karu, they will put sago, next to the structure they have put up. They will start the dance and the dance will go,go,go, go, until two weeks, when those two weeks are over, people from everywhere will come and eat the food, the hosting village will slaughter pigs and then the dance is closed. It will go on until someone else is strong and he will open the dance again. If nothing then it is really closed.
