Stories From Kiribati

Ruuka was an alcoholic who used to steal things and exchanged them for wine. 

In one occasion (family feast), he was asked by his mother to kill the pig. After killing, cutting up and cleaning, he hid one of the pig’s legs under the small bush. Then he brought the meat home to his mother.

“Hey! Ruuka, where is the other leg? The fourth one?” asked the mother.

“Mother! Are you saying that your pig has four legs when all pigs have only three?” was Ruuka’s fake reply.

“Um,,, Hahahaa, I’m sorry! I thought pigs have four legs” the mother was convinced.

Hours later, Ruuka was drinking wine at the local bar.
