Abstract
Description
Genre: Fable. Title: Ro'a no'o Méo (Monkey and Cat). Palu’e fable narrated by Paula Paji (b. c. 1930s) in a room in her home, the most prominent in kampong Ndeo (village heads etc.), morning 14 Feb 2014, one of the first ”real”, successful, recordings of the project; three tales in one session. Ro'a no'o Méo (Monkey and Cat) tells of the monkey and the cat were friends in Lio, Flores, until they went searching for clams by the shore. Only the cat gets catch, so Monkey wonders why. Cat fools the monkey to bait with his genitals, which get clammed by the sea clam. Angered, Monkey expels Cat with hos family, who chose to go to Palu’e Island. The story explains why there are no monkeys on Palu’e (an unusual fact), and why there are cats, although only a few because the Palu’e prefer to keep dogs. Lio is the name of the nearest land region (the land of the Lio) on Flores. It is possible that this tale or myth also circulates there, although the Lio have both monkeys and cats on their lands. /SD
