Title: A child stays with a giant who changes into a woman

Description: Let’s begin, one child, his mother and father didn’t like her. One day she followed the road inland, she went on and she arrived at a giant (woman)’s village. The giant saw the child coming and asked her: ‘I’m your granny’. My mother and father don’t like me. ‘Come grandchild, let’s just stay (here)’. These foods are here, grandchild, uvi, pana, taro, banana.’ The giant said to the child. My garden is inland over there. You go to the bush for our food. The giant (the giant changes his/her body into a woman or a ghost). The giant (woman) she changes her body to a spirit/ghost. After the girl went to the bush/garden she did that (changed her body). She said again to her, if you come home you must hit the tree trunk so that I hear you. (To discipline children – not sure about the message – there’s a lot like that where the parents don’t like the children.)
