They lived in Lēmērig and

Went to Vatov,

Alright, so he said: 'But I have one right down here.'

But the two who came here, they had money, shell money, our money in former days.

So then they gave the shell money to him.

So the two had bought the intra-sex pig from him now, gave (it) to him. He said: 'That's good.'

To prevent you two get stuck in the dark while going back home, you should stay overnight here with me.

And so the three of them spent the night there. They were sleeping until daylight broke.

alē dir'ōl mi'ir va'anē dir'ōlm mi'ir anē mi'ir anē ne vavan ne maran

Daylight came

and Dōl said to the two:

'Let's go to the garden.'

And so the three set off.

They pulled some taro and pinched off some cabbage,

and pulled some kava.

Alright, then the three came back into the house, and when they came it was evening.

Cracked these canarium nuts, the three made a wig pudding

and had it with that cabage.

Alright, so the two cracked the canarium nuts and then pounded the pudding.

alē duruk wos ēn n̄ar qēk qis ēn lōt

Having eaten well ...

well, but in former times, you would finish eating, and only then would you drink kava.

Alright, after a while Dōl said:

alē van e La(WA) e Dōl so

'You two, who will grind kava for me?'

kumru e sē me wan mok ēn gie

Alright, then the firstborn said to the lastborn: 'The lastborn will grind your kava.'

Ground his kava

When the two were drinking (it)

alē durum inin vavan anē

after a while Dōl said: 'Oh, I'm done. I'm already drunk on the kava.'

e Dōl so o no man qēn gie man man no

And the firstborn too said: 'Same for me, I'm drunk on the kava.' And so the three lay down

ban 'uwam̄ēre so o no rek ēn giem man no alē dir'ōl ōn sur

and got to sleep.

While they were sleeping, at night,

dir'ōlm mi'ir anē lēn qōn̄

Dōl got up.

Went down here

and went outside.

Came down here and saw coconut fibres.

And then he took (it) and started to yarn these coconut fibres, yarned (it) very fine.

ē dine le ne gial san wōvēre mi'ig ēm gial ga tiktik wal

Then he went back inside the house and touched that...

ē dine kalba kēl sar ma anē ne 'an̄ qal san

The firstborn was fast asleep, he didn't feel anything at all.

Alright, grabbed this penis of his and pulled (it).

So the three kept sleeping until

The firstborn said to the secondborn: 'I feel sick.'

'uwam̄ēre so o [CONSTRUCTION RESTART] ne tēk mēn 'isim̄ēre so nok rōn̄ ē nom rusō

'But what kind of sickness?' 'I don't know, my body isn't well.'

Then (he) told the younger brother:

'I went to the toilet to urinate, but I couldn't.'

nom van lēn nim̄ tiktik so nok mērmēr ba nom mērmēr lēge nom mē(WA)

So the two stayed there, and Dōl said: 'Ok, let's finish the cooking, and then you two set off.'

alē duruk 'ōg'ōg 'i anē e Dōl so o ba dōl kukuk qē' kumru mak van

Alright, so the three cooked their breakfast and ate, and then

alē dir'ōl gen(WA) kuk qē' lēn ma'av anēk gengen enteg qē'

he said: 'But the intra-sex pig is right there, you go with (it).' Alright.

Then the two took the pig

and the older brother said to the younger one

the younger brother should take that pig and tow (it).

'isim̄ēre ne gis san qō ē ne van revrev va'anē'

'Alright, Dōl, we two head off home.' 'Alright, you go with that intra-sex pig.'

The two went, kept going until they arrived.

This one river, it's name is

So then the two got there and sat down.

Sat there in order to rest because that one guy felt bad.

sagsag momse sirē e ge ē ga rōn̄ ga se'

So now the two were sitting there and looked towards the bush. And Dōl had turned into someone else, it was the face of a different person. (He) came down.

He held a bow,

'Oh nothing, we two were on our way walking but

The younger brother said: 'Yes, there is coconut shell in my basket.'

He kept spitting into the water.

He said: 'But then come here.'
