There lived a sister and brother. The brother went fishing every day. He came home and said to his sister: “Clean the fish. I’ll eat the head, you eat the tail, you eat the middle.” The next day he got up, went off again, went to the forest, brought his sister a fish again and said to his sister: “You eat the middle, I will eat the head, I will eat the tail, i will eat the tail, you eat the middle.” His sister said: “Why do you always feed me the middle?

The third day he got up and went out again. He went out again, caught fish again, came back and said to his sister: “Sister, we will cook again.

She was angry and went into the forest. She went for three days, she flew and flew for three days. Then she came to a tree, there was a sort of small hole, she went in. She went in and cried. She cried by night, she cried by day. There was no brother, he had stayed. Her brother looked for her, looked for her. “Where did my sister go? Where is she wandering?”
