Description:P was a chief at a village. One day he blew the conch shell and the people came together. He said to them, get ready for a journey. The people prepared the canoes and paddles and food. Then they waited and the day arrived he announced the departure. They travelled to Makira. P was the chief who journeyed with them. He was married to 10 women. Mp sang "teni, teni, I am P I journed to Bwaolo. Teni, teni I am P I have come back from B". After he sang he lay down with the first wife of P. Then the second and third wives and other people they said to him; you aren’t P. You are a rubbish man who sings. P returned home from the journey and his wives told him. They were angry and they chased him and they looked for him to kill him and Mp just stays in the rubbish (he’s dead).
