ENGLISH
'Tupur Un I Tu Lesu Me Vale' is a creation story about a woman that was pregnant and gave birth to a handkerchief. The handkerchief was put into a traditional flat basket called 'Poko' made of palm leaf. As the handkerchief grew up month by month the mother made a new basket to fit. Each day when the parents were in the field the handkerchief came out of the basket and transformed into a beautiful young woman and cooked rice, vegetables and yam for her parents, and cleaned the house for them. Each day the parents returned home to find their house clean and food ready for them on the table, but they didn't know who was looking after them. One day her mother left for the field but her father stayed behind, hiding under his sleeping mat. The girl climbed down from the basket and began cooking, to her father's surprise. Once she was finished cooking she wanted to go back to the box, but the parents wanted them to show herself and stay with them as a human, and she accepted. They found her a suitor and she was married and had children of her own.
