00:15 Without a word, Uncle Tu took a pot, a board and a big knife.

00:20 He went as far as the water's edge to prepare the two big dolphin fish.

00:26 This operation was closely followed by a squadron of red girls with bronchitic rat's eyes

00:31 and further down by a dozen pigs in a semi-circle,

00:35 some tetanised tupa crabs

00:38 and Minouchka, the district cat, who, to be precise, was a she.

00:43 And she, by the way, was expecting kittens.

00:46 In the meantime, the land was being cleaned.

00:49 Mahiriyonahe had been the pig's domain for a whole month.

00:54 An hour later, Kiva, Tuatini and Punu arrived in the second boat.

00:59 Turio explained to me that Tuatini and Punu were the district champs

01:04 and that they would stay with me for a week, the time needed to show me

01:07 how to handle things in a district, to fish, eat and work the copra.

01:11 We tucked into Uncle Tu's Maimaitunu.

01:14 Then, Sumo brought me to the water tank to show me how to have a wash.

01:20 You had to walk a hundred yards to an old water tank made of lime-washed stones,

01:24 in which the water was always cool.

01:27 The pipe was plugged with a piece of buoy.

01:30 Everyone was entitled to one bucket.

01:33 We all washed in turn.

01:35 Then, Sumo and his godfather went back to the village by Potimarara boat.

01:40 First night in the district, in the bungalow on stilts.

01:44 Well equipped, with mattress, blankets and mosquito net.

01:49 We ran the generator in order to watch a movie.

01:52 Uncle Tu preferred to sleep alone with the pigs in a copra shack.

01:56 For Kiva, it was worse.

01:59 He was going to sleep in the bush, far away in the bush.

02:03 He was playing hero.

02:05 He would come back at 5 in the morning to drink his coffee,

02:08 completely out of his mind.

02:10 His thundering mother-in-laws would throw Uncle Tu out of the shack.

02:14 Nobody knew where he'd been, but it all seemed a bit fishy.
