Au Baka – eating raw and cooked

Before the water came from the rice fields, there was a woman called Bui Bili. The water rose up with her. The woman went to look for food in Kubo Baha (in the eucalypt forest). In the forest she met her friend. She called her to come to the Au Baka spring. But her friend didn’t know water. ‘What is water?’ she asked.

When they reached the spring her friend said, ‘Water is like a snake’. Then her friend from Au Baka said ‘When and what shall we drink and eat?’
She answered, ‘When I open my mouth, I receive the wind. When the breath of wind goes down and back up I open my mouth to receive the wind’.
Later the one from Kubo Baha sat on the veranda and her friend from Au Baka went inside the house. She cut some yam and gave it to her friend to eat. But her friend did not eat because it was raw not cooked. Instead she took out some cooked yams. She placed them on a plate and they ate it. The friend from Au Baka asked, ‘How did you cook the yams?’ The friend from Kubo-Buu replied ‘I used fire’. Her friend then asked ‘Fire? What is that?’. Then the friend from Kubo Buu asked ‘Do you have any dry cotton?’ ‘I do’ she replied. When they had finished eating, the one from Kubo-Buu was to give fire to the one from Au Baka. The one from Au Baka gave her friend some cotton seed. When she gave the cotton seeds, the one from Kubo-Buu taught her friend how to make fire. She took two sticks (ai kaiku) and rubbed them together to make fire. The other brought some cotton and but it in the fire so the fire burned.  Then she gave her friend from Kubo-Baha two wild taro leaves. She (the woman from Kubo-Nuu) used the taro leaves to fetch water. She took the water to plant in Kore Wai (Wai Kore). 

When she reached Wai Kore she looked back and saw that the fire had burned the house down. The house burnt down but her friend had already left to harvest yams in Ae-Nauoli. She didn’t know it had burned down. When she returned, her house was burnt to the ground. At that time the fire had burnt everything from east to west. Because of this today there are four forests left Baha Bau’I and Di Boe (near the airport on the border with suku Bahu) and Baha Lekiwau, Kai Loime and Kai-Nahalaku.

Ruru (?) lives in a place called Leku-Kai-Lale-Oli. In Leku-Kai-Lale-Oli they found buffalo when they went to Ae-Lale, Badu-Kairui. At the Au Baka spring they sue (sacrifice) red pigs, red goats, red chickens, red rice to this day. Some days ago, when they directed a water channel over here they brought a red pig and a red goat. From Caisidu, a red goat and a red pig. That is what they brought to share the water.
