Description:		W tells the story "Frog, Where are You", Mercer Mayer's picture book.
		Lacandon Cultural Heritage is a documentation of the language and culture of the northern Lacandon(Maya), who live in the rain forest in Chiapas, the south-eastern state of Mexico. They number approximately 350 men, women and children, who have retained much of their traditional culture and religion. The project serves as a preservative measure against loss of the traditional knowledge, stories, and verbal performances that are central to Lacandon culture. It also serves as an interactive resource tool for linguists and non-linguists to access data relevant to their areas of interest, such as folklore, ethnobotany, cultural anthropology, etc.
		W tells the story "Frog Where Are You", at the request of the collector. The purpose of this session was to record Lacandn children's narrative skills in thier own language and in Spanish. The Spanish version is found in Frogstory_sp_W. W is one of many Lacandon narrators asked to perform this task.
		Lacandon is the language of the session. But Spanish is spoken at the beginning to explain the task and elicit biographical information from the speaker.
		W is the only contributor in this session. The only other person present is the collector. The collector is heard asking W questions about himself before his telling of the story.
		The collector of this session data is also responsbile for the collection of all of the data sessions and the whole project.
