In this Chini folktale, a woman always returns home from fishing, but never has any fish. The men and boys of the village follow her one day and watch as she clandestinely eats the raw fish she catches in an animal-like manner. The men surround her and beat her, and she runs off into the jungle howling like a pig. Later, someone finds a piglet she gave birth to. Not having seen such a creature before, an old man risks his life by trying the meat, but he doesn't die, and to his surprise it's quite tasty. Audio duration [00:06:03]
