It is first a curse on coconut, orange and other fruit trees. He hangs a small bag made from coconut fibre ('nio pabhune', usually 'kunu') and inserts five small stones, the 'watu woko', inside. Then he pierces the bag with a pineapple stick (small sharp) across (up down, side to side). When somebody comes and picks fruits, steals, he will fall ill. To be cured he has to come to Simon who will cure the person, who has swollen wounds all over the body, for a fee of 100 or 200 thousand IDR (='peju'). The cure is chewed areca nut and piper betel (sirih pinang) with ginger, applied to the wounds.
