Description:A river which is considered a holy place by a community had a fish in it which nobody is allowed to catch. However, a woman went to fish in it and caught the only fish in the river. When she started to prepare the fish to cook it, it started singing. Even after cooking and eating the fish it continued to sing and finally came out as many fish through the woman's anus. Since then women vowed never to fish in the Gurene community.
