Description:There was a man who married two girls who he found in the sea. When they went to visit their mother, he came with them and saw that she was a snake. He ran away and told the other men of the village, so the next day they went and wrapped the snake up and burnt and killed her. The ashes fell on to one of the wives, who then knew what the men had done. So the next day, the two women made laplap for everyone in the village, but they put the snake ashes in it, so everyone turned into pigs. This is a traditional custom story. This item is about the following topics: Custom story; Snakes; Pigs; Magic; Family; Laplap; Marriage; Snake; Snake mother; Women. This was recorded in Endu.
