(Tolai) Long time ago two brothers lived on an island close to main island of New Britain. One day they went out fishing in their outrigger canoe and caught plenty of fish. Some time later a big shark approached them and was about to capsize their canoe. They immediately threw out some of the fish to feed the shark but kept coming so all the fish were emptied. Then the elder brother decided to start feeding the shark with the body parts of the younger brother – legs/hands/arms then the body only leaving the head where he reached the shore. He threw then buried the head next to their house. Later the head grew to a palm tree and eventually was bearing nuts until it was harvested. He removed the husks then found that the head was stil showing eyes nose and mouth so he cried remembering his brother eaten by the shark. Today everyone looks at the coconut are aware where it comes from. Story 2: From Rapitok. Story of how the local people identified and cleared land to build the primary and high school “Malabunga” located between Rapitok villages and Taulil in the Tolai community towards the Baining region of the Gazelle Peninsula, New Britain Island.
