One day they go to the island of Qakē, the rat sitting on the swamphen's back. They destroy all the gardens there, until one day a man find's them out and traps the swamphen. The rat saves it, but then it flies back to Vanua Lava, abandoning the rat. An octopus then saves the rat, carrying it back on its back. However, as they go along, the rat laughs at the octopus as it changes colours. The octopus gets angry and sticks a she-oak needle in its behind to make a tail. In return the rat takes a piece of charcoal from a fire and throws it at the octopus, whereupon it sticks in its head.
