Audio recording and transcription/translation of the traditional story of Pokerem and his wife Chichindrikawa, who is a devil, tols by John Kris Hinduwan. Mary Clara makes frequent comments and corrections. Synposis: Pokerem was a man and his wife Chichindrikawa was a devil, but he did not know it. One day they were fishing and while Pokerem was not looking, Chichindrikawa ate all the fish. He was suspicious, and so he tested her by asking her to climb a betelnut tree and collect some betelnut. When she climbed the tree she turned around and cut the betelnut down with her bum, instead of using her hands like a person would. Another day they went fishing again, and once again Chichindrikawa ate all the fish. Now he knew she was a devil and he decided to kill her. He took big mumu stones and heated them up on the fire. Then he put the stones on top of her and she died. Finally, he removed her heart and put it on the fire.
