Title The two brothers
Description A legend about two brothers whose parents have died. The eldest brother gets married, but his wife treats the younger brother badly. The younger brother encounters a witch woman and asks her to turn him into a fish. When the elder brother realises he has lost his younger brother, he kills his wife and burns the house down. He then also encounters the witch woman and asks to be turned into a seagull. This is why seagulls are always chasing fish.
