Title Folktale: mungruho (without mouth)
Description A folktale told by Peuru. Two mara (female evil spirits) decided to stay in the garden and eat bananas Mungruho grew. Mungruho had no mouth, so actually he didn't eat them. One day two maras put a snake into his basket, and out of fear Mungruho opened his mouth. He got married with these two maras. DO's handwritten transcript (01-03) and Eng translation (04), and DL's handwritten transcript (05-06).
