Description: | This is perhaps the most widely known and frequently told zapal among the Bunaq Lamaknen today. It appears to be borrowed from the Tetun. The zapal is one version among several that tells the story of the very competitive friendship between Orel (Monkey) and Zul (Mouse) in which Monkey is repeatedly proven stupid and Mouse clever. Mouse tricks Monkey into a competition where he gets burnt to death in a fire. This version is typical in finishing with Mouse eating Monkey's remains from the fire. | |
Bunaq "zapal" is an endangered form of fairy tale-like folk story traditionally told in the family group at night before going to sleep. With the arrival of electricity and television in Bunaq villages, the traditional night time forum for telling "zapal" has been lost. As a result, children know little or nothing of this aspect of Bunaq culture; only elderly community members and some adults know individual tales from the vast canon of "zapal" that the Bunaq once had. The "zapal" encapsulate and elucidate aspects of the Bunaq world view and their environment. The documentation of "zapal" therefores provide an unique perspective on the traditional livelihoods and beliefs of the Bunaq for researchers. | ||
