- Description : The rat and the kingfisher are playing together. When they see another island across the sea, they want to go there. They carve out a pawpaw to be their boat, but in the middle of the sea, the rat gets hungry and starts eating the fruit. Despite the warnings of the kingfisher, the rat bites a hole into the fruit, which starts sinking. The kingfisher flies away and the rat appeals to various animals of the sea for help. A turtle agrees to rescue it and carries it to the shore on its head. The rat shits onto the turtle's head, before it jumps off to the shore. The enraged turtle then calls for a tidal wave to kill the rat and the rat dies.
