| dc.description | Genre Folk tale (fairy tale/myth). Title: Ratu pati ana ata wai (The kIng cuts his daughter). Mama Ngei, a grandmother who lives alone in a hut in kampong Mata Mere, tells a fairy tale, here given the title ‘Ratu pati ana ataa wai' (The King cuts his daughter) after the main event, which resembles a sacrifice. The king leaves his pregnant wife for a journey, saying that, upon returning, he fires his rifle from the sea, and the wife answers with a shot, it is a girl, and then the baby should be killed and the liver left for him to eat. If it is a boy, the wife should not reply the rifle shot. The wife does not kill her beautiful daughter but keeps the baby with her grandmother in the hills. When the king finds out, he goes with a machete to find the daughter. When he finds her, she asks her father to not kill her at the spot but tells of another place toward the sea where her blood will become sea water and her flesh and bones become soil and rock. This is conveyed in poetic language; the place names are poetic. Curiously the tale ends like the tale Depa Lélu Léna/Diji, there is the same intervention by an eagle, or a pair of eagles, who assemble the body parts and blood and make the child live again. The child becomes their child. When the child's parents find out they want the child back. The mother, and the grandmother, negotiate with the eagle(s), offering different goods that are rejected by the eagle because they are useless to the eagle. This is like in the mentioned Depa Lélu Léna tale. In the end, the humans offer the eagle chicken, and the tale ends, there should have been a kind of reply or explanation, but it is understood that the offer is accepted. The deal is understanding of the eagles' hunger for chicken, that often are kept and bred by humans, they have the right because they helped bring back a human child to life and returned her to her parents. The tale was recorded by Pitu Sopune 3 Jan -16 in the morning. A few neighbours and children were sitting by listening. On this occasion, Pitu used the AT Lavalier mono-microphone, which we rarely used, but the recording came out alright. | |
