Title:Rail and Rat II
Contributor (consultant):DM
Contributor (translator):AU
Coverage:Vanuatu
Description:In this story, the rat and the rail are good friends. The rail finds out that the rat gets a supply of breadfruit from the tree of a lisepsep and insists that they steal some together. But it fails to catch the fruit the rat throws down from the tree and so they alert the lisepsep. When he comes, the rail flies away and the rat flees into a hole but is persecuted by the lisepsep. In its distress, the rat sings a song. The rail comes to rescue its friend, it beats the lisepsep to death with a club. To check whether the lisepsep is truly dead, they first send some flies and afterwards some ants, who confirm his death. The end of the story, in which they cut the lisepsep to pieces to bake and eat them, does not really seem to fit and is very reminiscent of the story archived under the title `Baking Chestnuts'.
