This is a story about a giant man-eating snake that inhabited a field overlooking the village of Elechui. The giant snake would go down to the village when he smelled smoke to try and find people to eat. It got to a point where the people of Elechui got so scared that they resorted to just eating raw uncooked taro because they were afraid that if they cooked the giant snake would smell and see the smoke and would come to the village and eat them. One day, the village chief called gathered everyone in the village and told them that they were gonna move somewhere they can live without fearing for their lives all the time otherwise they would all perish if they stayed. And so it was agreed and the day came for them to pack up and move. As they were in the dock getting ready to leave in their canoes, a woman who had no family came to try and catch a ride but no one wanted to help her and kept telling her that they could not take her because they would just get weighed down. Eventually, everyone in the village left and the woman having been left all by herself went back to the village and lived under a tree. The villagers sailed in their canoes to another village a settled to live there. The woman continued to eat raw uncooked taro every day because she too was afraid that if she cooked the giant snake would smell the smoke and come to eat her. One day she started experiencing abdominal pain so she thought that she was getting sick, little did she know she was actually pregnant and she was experiencing labor pains. She gave birth to twin boys and as the boys grew and became of age, they asked finally their mother, "why do we keep eating raw uncooked taro? and why does your mouth look like that?" (Her mouth was swollen and irritated from constantly eating raw taro) So the mother then told her sons of what happened to her on the day the villagers decide to move out of the village. After hearing about their mother's situation the boys were so sad and felt so bad for their mom and so they decide to kill the giant snake. They gathered rocks and heated them up putting them into seven piles. As they were doing this the giant snake began to smell and see smoke so it started making its way down to where they were. When the snake had reached the boys they stood by the first rock pile and as the snake opened its mouth to eat the boys they threw the hot rocks at it and he ate them all, the boys ran to the second pile and continued to throw the hot rocks at the snake to which it kept eating them. On the third pile, the snake had gotten weaker and by the fifth pile, he started to tremble and eventually died. The mother and her sons were overjoyed when the snake finally died and so she told her sons to put the snakes stomach into the chiefs large player and she brought it to the dock put it on the water and said to it, "go adrift, and when you reach land and they ask you if you came from the giant snake in Elechui expand." So the giant snake's stomach drifted all the way to the village where the former villagers of Elechui now resided. Some villagers who were at the dock saw something floating in the water and so they started to ask "are you the stomach of a grouper fish?" and asked if it came from other fishes but nothing happened and when they finally asked if it was the stomach of the giant snake of Elechui it immediately expanded and so the villagers called to the chief to come and see what was going on and as soon as he saw the large platter he knew immediately what it was inside of it and so he told the villagers that they would be moving back to their home of Elechui. The brothers knowing that the villagers were about to return blocked the dock so that they wouldn't be able to come onto the dock and stood with their spears wanting to kill the villagers. The chief tried apologizing to them but they only said, "No you all left our mother alone to fend for herself." But eventually, they all came to an agreement and all was well.
