ENGLISH
This story describes the origins of a spring named Tei Ratu Pana Ratu in aldeia Serelau in the Lautem sub-district. This story is told by Santos Viegas, the traditional owner of the spring. The story he tells is that a long time ago there were many people in Serelau who couldn't access clean water and each day had to travel long distances to find water. The father and mother of the house were away in the fields, farming, leaving their girl was in the house. Their dog went off, and came back to the house wet. The girl noticed this and went to find how the dog had become wet. She found that the dog had found a new spring and had played in it. When she found the spring the spirit owner spoke to her, saying: 'if you want this place to be safe from difficulties, and if you want your people to have water for drinking, for watering animals and for rice fields, then you must become my wife'. The girl returned to her parents to discuss this. The parents, desparate for a water source, accepted the rules of the spring and sacrificed their daughter as an offering to the spring. A traditional line dance accompanied by instrumental music was performed, until this girl was swept sway by the power of the magic spring. This dance is called Bidu, with hand drum accompaniment, Tebedai, is now performed in Serelau.
