[The narrative is confused -- it is late.] All the children of this village had been eaten up. They had been eaten -- Grandma Bumi had eaten up all the children of this village. She had eaten them up. Then one day an old woman went to gather wood. She went to gather wood, and Grandma Bumi said to her, cousin, cousin [lit. "mother of my child's spouse"] where are you going?" "I'm going to get wood, cousin. "I'm going to get wood, cousin," she said. "Let's go to my house, cousin," said Grandma Bumi. "No, no, cousin, no, I can't walk, cousin," she said. "I'll carry you, cousin," she said and she carried her. She took her to her house. "Mother, mother, I'll eat the eyes! Mother, mother, I'll eat the arms," her children -- Mother Bumi's children said. Some said, "Mother, mother, I'll eat the ears. Some -- her children -- said, "I'll eat the eyes, mother." Saying "OK, cousin, go inside!" Bumi lifted her into the house by her bottom. "Cousin, no, I can't go in," she said. "I can't go in." "You first, cousin, go in, go in," she said and lifted and pushed her in by her bottom. The old lady defecated explosively. "Yecch, cousin, you disgusting thing," and she struck her a blow with her breast -- a breast big like this -- hard as oak -- she gave her a chop. "Cousin, go!" With a blow she threw that old lady out. When she got back, she said, "Well, the one who's eating all the children of the village is Mother Bumi, it turns out. Mother Bumi met me today. She took me there. It was "Mother, mother, I'll eat the eyes, mother, mother, I'll eat the arms, mother, mother, I'll eat the ears! Bring a knife!" they said. [The narrator loses the thread.] When they said to bring a knife, that old woman took fright and defecated copiously. Then, "Yech, you disgusting thing," she said and -- she had breasts this big -- she chopped her with her breast, like hardwood, that old lady, and threw her out saying "Go home!" That's all. That's all, it's finished. -- then she arrived home. She arrived home. "I was carried to Bumi's house where she sleeps -- the house of the one who is eating our children. I was carried there. She met me up on the hill, "Cousin, cousin, where are you going?" 'I'm going to get wood, cousin.' 'Cousin, cousin, let's go to my house,' she called to me." When I said I couldn't walk, she said, "I'll carry you, cousin," and she carried me there. When Mother Bumi took her home, there were four or five children. "Mother, mother, I'll eat the eyes. Mother, mother, I'll eat the ears. Mother mother, I'll eat the arms," they said, and from fear, that old lady defecated suddenly, she had diarrhea. "Yech, you disgusting thing," the old lady [(?) actually Bumi] threw her out, giving her a chop with her breast, like hardwood. That old lady was told "Go, you disgusting thing," and she arrived at the village. She arrived here at the village. "Mother Bumi took me, Bumi is the one who is eating our children. Mother Bumi took me. When they said "I'll eat the ears, I'll eat the eyes ..." "Well, I was taken there. She's the one eating our children. We have to burn chili-pepper and smoke her out. We have to kill her," she said. Then they burned all the chili-pepper of the village -- they put it in and they burned all the kindling in the village made smoke. Then they burned it and made smoke and the children and their mother died shrieking. That's all.
