 Okay, good afternoon, everyone. It feels really amazing to see the entire TESO family coming together for another webinar series. And I, on behalf of the Department of English, welcome and thank each individual for your valuable time and support that you have shown for this webinar today. And before I proceed on, I would like to brief you about the reason why we came up with this topic. So, we know that we, the SNAGA Society, we're generally considered to be people of oral tradition, and we have been endowed with rich oral tradition, which have been asked down from generation to generation through words of mouth. However, we can also not deny the fact that a society can never remain unchanged or untouched by the intrusion of modernity, and this becomes vulnerable for the preservation of such oral tradition. So, we came up with this idea in order to preserve our culture, tradition, and solely to relieve the storytelling moments that we enjoyed in the past and rarely do these things. And I hope that we will all have a wonderful session together because I assure you that we have some amazing storytellers from amongst the students and with their beautiful cocktails in the list. So, I hope that we will all have a wonderful session together and enjoy these webinars together. So, without taking much time, I would hand over the rest of the time to the first participant that is along the file. Good afternoon, everyone. I am Lamitthal Kongsai and I am a fifth semester student in Tetsuo College. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in English Honours. First of all, I want to thank the Department of English for organizing such an amazing service, such an amazing program, and giving me the opportunity to share with you one of my favorite folktales. This folktale belongs to the Kuki community, Kuki tribe, which is my tribe and it is about two brothers, namely Lindo and Tanghao. I was told about this folklore when I was just a young child by my grandparents and my mother. And when my paternal grandmother was alive, she swore that this story was real, that Lindo and Tanghao actually existed. And well, the story, here goes the story. Not too long ago, a widow called Tingnam lived with two of her sons, Lindo and Tanghao. They were very poor and they lived a life of poverty and society was very male dominated during those times. It was a patriarchal society. So, given that Lindo's mother Tingnam was a widow and Lindo and his brother Tanghao, they were fatherless and they were financially very poor. They did not receive a lot of respect in their community, in the society. Even Lindo and Tanghao's peers would not even give them respect and would not treat them as equal. They did not even want to play games with them because they were fatherless. And Tingnam, she would spend her days begging for jobs from her neighbors, her loved ones, so that she can get food in return, food to feed herself and her children in return. While children of Lindo and Tanghao's age would be having fun, playing games, enjoying their life, because they were so young. Lindo and Tanghao would be obeying their mother and they would do chores like picking firewood from the forest, fetching water from far away ponds. That was their life. To the world, their house was in a terrible condition. To the world, their house was basically an unlivable mess. But to the children, it provided them with a place of comfort and solace. It provided them with comfort and they would sleep and rest well throughout the night. That was the kind of life that they led. Tingnam, the mother was very much tired of the life that she was living and she would always talk to herself. She would think of how it would be possible to escape such a life. One early morning, she sent her two sons to fetch water from the pond. A man, a man called Patio came over to their house and the man started to vote Tingnam, the widow. He started to compliment her, talking about her beauty and how her beauty is being wasted, living such a poor life and he proposed Tingnam. He proposed Tingnam and he asked her to elope to him to run away with him. He gave her time to make the decision. That night, Tingnam could not sleep at all. She spent the whole night thinking of how her life would be better. Thinking of how her standard of living would instantly improve if she married Patio. So the next morning, Patio came over again to inquire about Tingnam's decision. He urged Tingnam to make a final decision while the kids were out doing their chores. Tingnam succumbed to her greed, her desires to lead a better quality of life. She agreed to run away with him. She came up with a very devious plan. In those days, the people would use bamboo to store water, to carry water. So Tingnam drilled holes, small holes at the bottom of the bamboo vessels and when her children returned home, she sent them out again to fetch water from the pond. The children were very much unaware of their mother's plans, their intentions. The children went to fill water in the pond and with the time in her hands, Tingnam, she packed all her belongings and she ran away with her now boyfriend, Patio. The poor kids, they had no idea what their mother had done. They kept on trying to fill the water but they kept on failing. They would return halfway because they would suddenly realize that their water vessels had become so much lighter, suddenly lighter. So they would return back to the pond to fill the water again and this happened several times. So while they were at the pond refilling the bamboo water vessels to the brim again, a woman came and informed them saying that while you guys are working, while you boys are working, your mother has run away with her lover. She has run away with her boyfriend. The two children could not believe the woman, the news. They could not believe that their mother could do something like that to them. They started crying, they started shouting, especially the younger brother, Tanghao. He started crying because he did not want to be away from his mother. They raced back home, leaving their bamboo vessels at the pond and they were searching for their mother and they cried even more when they realized that their mother was no longer home, that all her belongings were nowhere to be found. They started crying and talking to themselves and started saying that, mother, how could you do this to us? How can you leave us all alone, hungry, helpless, and then a man. A man out of nowhere heard them crying. He inquired the reason. The boys told the man the reason and upon learning the reason, the man told the boys that, oh, your mother must have headed towards the village that is situated across the river. Why don't you head towards the river? And he also gave another additional advice saying that if your mother and her lover have already crossed the river, you too should return home because if you try to cross the river, the currents of the river will take you away and you will die and then you will drown because of how strong the river currents are. The two boys started crying louder and they raced across the forest to the river and they were so tired and so hungry because they had been working before sunrise and now their mother had run away with her lover and they were crying and when they reached the river, they saw the two lovers, their mother and her boyfriend. They were already across the river and Lindo, the older brother, shouted, mother, mother, how can you do this to us? Why have you left us all alone, hungry and helpless and then Tang Hao, the younger one started crying, mother, take us with you. Take us with you. The two lovers heard their cries and shouts and the boyfriend, Paquil, told Ting Nem that it is not possible to take the kids with them. Ting Nem was in a dilemma now. After much deliberation, she decided, she reached the decision, she shouted over to Lindo. Lindo, she said, Lindo, your younger brother is way too young to live in somebody else's house. Let the strong current of the river take him away and you cross the river and come be with me. Lindo stood aghast. He could not believe what his mother had said, that their own mother had said, their own flesh and blood had said. Lindo could not believe that their mother could even think of killing off his younger brother. Lindo rejected his mother's proposal and he said, mother, if that is your decision, just go ahead, don't return, don't even think about us, don't think about us anymore. And then the two lovers went away and Lindo's younger brother, Tang Hao, started crying even more. They started crying even more and Lindo gave his younger brother a piggyback ride home and they headed home. They knew that their home would now be empty and there will no longer be a mother figure in their lives. They were crying and mourning the loss of a mother figure from their lives. When they reached home, there was nothing, no food available to eat. They were starving and they say that a man is obese when hungry and these kids, they were young and they were so young, they did not even, they were not mature enough to even understand the gravity of the situation, but they were left all alone in their house. They had nothing to eat. They kept on searching for food and they found a stack of hay. They found a stack of hay and they rummaged through the haystack and finally after a while of searching for food, they found a small, tiny grain of millet, a millet, a tiny grain of millet and a small grain of millet is not enough to feel, even one person, it's not enough to feel a baby even, but the two brothers divided the small grain of millet into two pieces and savored it deliciously. Till now, parents, my mother uses this story as an example to teach me and my sister the importance of sharing and loving each other, especially to cultivate love among us siblings and many, there are many cookie parents that use this story as an example to teach their children. That is the story and that is my presentation and now I give the time to the next presenter. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Ntila Shijo of BS Second semester pursuing English as my major paper. The folktale I will be narrating is titled as The Tragic Sorcery. It is believed to be a true story passed down from generation to generation of the Czechoslovakian tribe. The tale is of an old widow who lived long ago in the village of, in the prospering village of Kusomi. Her name was Kanima Tila and she was believed to be sorceress. She was old and she could not work in the petty field anymore and she spent her every day at home. Back then it was a tradition, a tradition for the old people who stayed back at the village to look after the children while the parents go for, go to work for agriculture. The parents would peg the food of the children and bring them to the old lady to babysit while they go to work. When the children bring their, when the children bring their foods, the old lady kept it on a table on a large wooden table and she would twist the neck of the children's and remove the head out of the body and keep it in a basket one by one. And she would continue with her works of spinning cotton and weaving without the interruption and disturbance from the children. The old Louis dosis, she could not work, she, she could not work and she did not have any food. She takes the small portion of every food from every pegged food and keep it to herself to eat. By the evening, when it is time for the parents to return from work, the old widow would put back the head of the children to their body and tells them to eat the food that the parents have pegged for them. And when the, when the children's returned home, they would complain that they have a very sharp pain in their neck and it went on and on. The, the children kept complaining. So the parents became concerned and decided to find out the cause of the pain. One day when the parents left off the children at the widow's place, they did not leave for work, but stayed hidden behind the house to find out what really happens to their children. To their horrific surprise, the parents thought that the old widow removed their head, the children's head and keeps it aside. And since the discovery, though, they stopped leaving their children for the old widow to babysit. That is the end of the story. Thank you. Now I give time to the next presenter. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Cynthia Zerzele and I'm from the fourth semester taking up English as my owner's paper. Today I will be narrating a folktale from the Ziliang Rong Naga tribe. Folktales are also called as harasam in our dialect. And the folktale that I'll be narrating has been taken from this book, Roots, A Collection of Ziliang Naga Folk Tales, written by Mr. Kang Zhang Ding Tong. And the title of my folktale is How the Dog Became a Domestic Animal. It is a very simple story and I hope you enjoy it. So here it goes. One day the dog decided to follow the elephant because it thought that the elephant was the mightiest animal on earth. And together the elephant and the dog roam around the forest in one or two many places. However, when the dog started to bark, the elephant stopped the dog and said, if you bark, the tiger will find out whereabouts and he'll come and kill us. So the dog was disappointed on hearing this and realized that it was not the elephant but the tiger who was my tear. So the dog left the elephant and went on to follow the tiger. The tiger and the dog now roam around many places and they wander through the forest. However, again, when the dog started to bark, the tiger stopped the dog and said, if you bark, man will find us and he'll come and kill us. Disappointed again, the dog realized that it was not the tiger but man who was my tear. So the dog left the tiger and went on to follow man. Now together, man and the dog wander through many places and roam about the forest. This time, however, when the dog started to bark, man did not stop him or restrain him from barking. Instead, man simply said, well done. If you bark from time to time, everyone will know that we are here and they'll run away from us. Hearing this, the dog was pleased and was happy and finally assumed that indeed, man was the mightiest of all the animals and the dog would find comfort and security from men. So from that day onwards, the dog started living with men and became man's most faithful follower. That's the end of the story and I've just narrated to you the Zilangrong version of how dogs came to live with men and became a domestic animal. Thank you. Now I'll give the time to the next narrator, Bendangkaba. Hi everyone, my name is Bendangkaba Inchen, I'm from BA's second semester taking English honors. Today I would like to share you a beautiful forktail that has been passed on from generations. So this forktail was told to me by my mom and it helped me to learn a lot of good lessons in my life. So I hope that this forktail will help you as well. So it begins with the village of Chungdae that is my village. There lived a happy family. The family consisted of four members, the father, the mother, and two daughters. The daughters were named as Long Bak Loong Xi and Sung Jin. So Long Bak Loong Xi was the elder sister. She was 12 years old and Sung Jin was the younger sister and she was 10 years old. So basically they were very young. So they loved their parents so much. But unfortunately one day their mother passed away. So the father was the father, after the mother passed away, the father wanted to marry to another woman. She fell in love with a woman and he wanted to marry her. So he asked the woman for a marriage proposal but the woman declined his proposal because he had already two daughters. So the woman declined his marriage proposal. And the reason for her declination was because he already had two daughters. So that was the reason. So the man was really sad over the fact and then he suddenly went to a conclusion and one fine day he took the two daughters to a forest and told them to dig a hole in the ground, on the ground. And when they finally dug the hole to the ground, the man, the father, chopped the head of the two daughters and buried them in the very hole. After that he went back to the house, to the home and then called the woman and told her that he had got rid of his own daughters. Hearing this made the woman terrified about the man and she got scared for what he had done to his own daughters. And she told the man that how could you kill your own daughters? This is beyond as a human being. So she declined the man proposal and she went away. After that the man was left with emotion and he was filled with anxiety and he was regretting for what he had done. He was regretting for his own decisions and then he went back to the very place for where he has killed his own daughters and he laments over the fact for his kill. This story tells us about how human being are selfish and greedy for our needs. Even though we have the things which people love us, we tend to try to get more and more things in our life. So for example in our present situation, from some sources we get to know that some of the current leaders are trying to get money through this pandemic, through this virus. So this shows that people are still greedy back from then until now we have the same habit and we are still very greedy for everything. Like even if we have things we tend to get more and more, we try to get more and more and we are never satisfied for what we get in our life. So we should never try to do, we should try to avoid that and we should try to eliminate our greediness, our selfishness in our mind and soul as well. So now with that I end it and I give time to Villibol to her, for her to present. Thank you. Good afternoon everyone. My name is Villibol Cixi from BFR semester, Department of English. The folklore I am going to narrate is based on our sematripe and is basically about two sisters. The folklore was narrated by my parents early and it has been found from our ancestors. I would like to thank our English department for the opportunity to give them back to the sisters. Actually they are one of the parents of a husband, a wife and two beautiful daughters. Their young daughters were so dear to their parents. However, the life of the young girls abruptly took an ugly turn when their mother parted away and the father had to re-marry. Unfortunately for the girls, their stepmother never loved them and often mistreated them. They were seen as mere slaves and not as daughters. The helpless father could do nothing but watch as his new wife mistreated his daughters. It so happened that the eldest daughter had grown matured enough to notice all her life as a daughter and also as a daughter in the family and also mostly stood against all kinds of evils that their stepmother had released upon them which again further angered the stepmother even more. Now the stepmother's hatred for the eldest daughter no bones. Therefore she would frequently instigated the husband to get the eldest daughter killed. The evil stepmother further threatened the husband that she would leave him if he does not kill the child as early as possible. The helpless and puppet like husband finally met up his mind to kill his child. So it was one faithful morning that the father had asked the eldest daughter to take up some food and brew or drink for they were going hunting and fishing. The poor child unaware of his father's tedious intentions happily did as she was told and so they set off. The father with a heavy heart headed straight toward the jungle with his child. The father had intentionally brought the child into a dense forest miles and miles away from home as she was far into that very place. Hence she would never find her way back home. A minute later father started digging a pit deep enough and making sure nobody could escape. Soon after the pit was done the father and the child had their last meal. He then asked the child to get inside a pit and wait for his return. Allah, he never returned. Never the least the father headed back home alone leaving the child behind. They said the youngest daughter became quite suspicious and was so much worried about her sister. It was one fine morning the youngest one picked up some food and drinks and she decided to go in search of her sister. She was encountered by a well dog on her way into the dense forest who led her straight to the spot where her sister was trapped. She found her sister battling between life and grave fatigue and famished and without proper care. After administering special care and feeding her with the food she brought the elder sister against necessary strength and managed to crawl up the pit. They spent some time embracing with one another until the young ancestor had to head back home but alone keeping in mind not to let the parents cut them. So the young ancestor was clever enough to convince the parents to get her a pair of every traditional attire of Sumith. We call it Thorni and Chainini etc and other ornaments and jewelry for herself as well as for her sister. The parents would fulfill her demands and wishes since she was the only parent left. So for about a week the younger sister had been bringing food into the woods for her sister without the parent's knowledge. So it was this one day when their parents were out on the field the younger sister took her attires and ornaments, prepared the food right on a plantain leaf and both fled to other regions far far away from home. On their journey they discovered a kiki or an underground source of freshwater or a stream. So during the early times and before discovering the source of freshwater by these sisters the ancestors were believed to extract and collect the drops of water from this specific plant named Aupa or Kalamas, Kalamas or a tongue as species of skin. So the girls also came across a very striking plant yielding this green red object out of starvation. The eldest sister she decided she would try out if that thing or plant was eatable. So the moment she took a mouthful it inflamed her mouth resulting in sudden heartburn with sweat. The younger sister was an extinct female sister in that state. Before long the eldest sister had recovered hence from then on on the plant was named Mirimishi or Mirishi in the Sumida dialect which means meat for an orphan which we also use as chili or pepper in the present days. Finally they came to this small village behind the valley. The villagers were kind enough and gave them a small plot of land. One day when they were about to show off for work they saw an elderly man knocking doors to doors for shelter. The elderly man was directly dressed and had a leprosy. Since he was in such a specific state no villagers bothered to entertain him. Lastly this elderly man came up to the young girls who happily invited them though they had nothing to offer. So this old man was actually believed to be a deity, spirit deity of our ancestors disguised as a stiff old man. So this old man then asked the sisters to prepare a meal for them to which the younger sister reluctantly replied that they had nothing to eat. So however he insisted them to keep the water boiling. Then the old man first shook his knees and to their astonishment the pot of the heart was filled with rice and began boiling. Again the second time as the old man shook his elbow pieces of raw meat started to fill up the pot of boiling water out of blue. Then they cooked and ate to their satisfaction. The next day the old man asked the young girls to show him their fields. The young girls were reluctant as their fields were way too small yet on being insisted again they showed him their tiny field of iron wool which we call bumpkins. The old man pronounced the blessings to their fields and told them to soak up all the pumpkins into their granaries. Without leaving one they did as were instructed to them after death he asked whether all the pumpkins had been stored. The youngest sister replied that she had left one pumpkin behind as it was too heavy for her to carry. So she was told to hardly bring the pumpkin back as soon as the pumpkin was stored with the others all the pumpkins started bursting out. Out of this pumpkin which bursted bursted came our different varieties of crops and grains seedlings which we use till death. The sisters showed the sisters sold their seeds of grains and had a wonderful harvest. Soon the sisters came became rich and prosperous. They often have the villagers in need but the old man was never to be seen again. So according to these legendary myths the produce crops or grains that we cultivated came out from the pumpkin which bursted that day. The moral of the story is the sisters were both and strong though they were abandoned and forgotten by their own parents. This also showed their indomitable spirit of not giving up on their pathetic life. Also the nature of kindness, compassion and intensive measure which can be learned. Also staying grounded and choose the health to help all the needy ones when when they finally had a contented and prosperous living. With this I hand over the time to the next participant. Thank you. Okay hello everyone my name is Frio Krasi of the second semester English department at so college. I belong to Mao tribe and today the folktale which I'll be sharing with you all is one of the most popular folktale which was told to us by our grandparents. You can find the folktale in a magazine it's called Beniole magazine from from the village of Makhan. I am from a village called Makhan. Okay so the folktale is it's all about a great warrior called Lukulei. Okay here goes the story. Lai was from the time when the when the practice of headhunting was prevailing in the land of the Nagas. His mother died giving birth to him so he grew up under the care of his father. Lai was physically weak and small child so his father had to personally take care of him instead of entrusting him to other people. His father would carry him everywhere inside his bag. While his father worked in the fields he would hung his son on the wall of the hut. Now one day his father forgot to take his son back home and it was only in the morning that he realizes that his son was not home. Lai was left all alone in the night at night and as soon as he realized that he packed his lunch and rushed back to the field with the feeling of remorse in his heart and no hope of his son being alive. But to be surprised when he reached the battlefield he saw that his son's eyes were wide open and then he was looking all around. Now that was the moment his father told himself that his son was not an ordinary child and then he would leave a great legacy behind. So Lai he matured into adulthood and he became the strongest man in the village. Now according to the traditional rules back those days the strongest man in the village was supposed to protect the village from any external dangers so that responsibility fell on Lai's shoulder. Many times the enemies from other villages tried to attack and kill him but one way or the other Lai finds ways to escape from the mouth of death. I would like to share some of those instances where he proved his bravery and his warfare intelligence. Okay one one instance was okay before that Lai married to a girl from a neighboring village. Today that village is called Song Song Village. Okay one day he decided to visit his wife's village and his enemies were also from that village. When he entered the village all the enemies surrounded him and were ready to kill him. The enemies had even closed the village gate. Now Lai was on his side that day as he saw a herd of cattle approaching approaching him. He took advantage of the he took advantage of the herd of cattle. He hid behind the animals moving from one animal to other and that was how he escaped from the mouth of death again. From from that day the enemies talked to themselves that he was not he was not a normal and natural being but he was some sort of a supernatural being. Another okay Lai was not only strong fierce and clever but he was also a healthy man a wealthy man. His riches could feed the whole villages could feed the whole village and he would throw fish often and he also owns huge area of land in the villages of Makhan. One day when he was cultivating in one of his fields he was attacked again by his enemies. He was surrounded and that day he was alone in the field there was no way to escape but and I just struck him. He took out a long piece of cloth and he started waving at them. Now when the light of the sun reflected on the cloth it began to shine from one end to the other and when the enemies saw that shining piece of cloth they told that it was Lai's magical power and so they felt scared and then they fled the scene. Lai once again tricked his enemies but actually that long piece of cloth was used as a form of skilled crew to drive birds and insects away to avoid the crops being eaten by them and after many failed attempts from his enemies to kill him the enemies became desperate and then they decided to destroy Lai's crops which were ripened and ready to harvest. The enemies used long ropes and smashed the crops to the ground. Now when Lai saw the ruins of his crop and I just struck him again he he decided to fool his enemies so he placed all his stored rice in the field at night and in the morning he requested all the villagers to carry those rice from the battlefield to his village to fool the enemies that they had not actually destroyed the crops but but they have helped Lai multiply his riches. Now when the enemies saw that saw the scene of people of people carrying the rice from the battlefield to the village they got shocked and then the plan to destroy his riches and kill him was still in vain. Lai in his idle time in his spare time he never stayed idle he would always patrol the borders of the village and everywhere he go he shouts screams and his voice would frighten the enemies which prevented from his village getting attacked. Lai would also climb to the top of the trees to see if enemies are approaching. Now that was how the great warrior Luke Hood Lai, a warfare intelligent and a brave and a brave man, protected the village of the Ikrames and the mountains of the Ikrames. Now who are the Ikrames? The Ikrames are the people of Makhan villages that is us, me I'm from Makhan village and to support the authenticity of this warfare I would like to show you all a picture. Okay this picture shows a footprint imprinted on a stone. No one knows how this is possible but the elders believe that Lai was some sort of a supernatural being and that was how it was it is possible. That stone is still there in in our village still today. There are two there are two footprints one is Ed Murray the one which is which is being displayed and the other is on the way to the forest. This is all about the folk tale and the folk and the folk tales tales of how a great warrior became a legend. Thank you all very much. Now I would like to give the rest of the time to the last presenter finally. Good afternoon everyone. I am Paih Philiu and I'm a first student of Tatsu College who was very obliged to pick up this weapon and present folklore. My folklore is about a certain Veyliang man, the story believes true and it has buried only in the village the tale of the ghost. Heron widow was given the godship of Bintzalra, a moral stitch while her as no one would come visit her and in the village to the folks of Burang. Who could what be happening for Ayama, my dead one comes to sleep. Hi Kamayde, sorry for interrupting you. Can you hear me? Oh the phone. Kamayde, yes sorry for interrupting you but if you can hear me can you turn off your camera and start all the candles we can barely hear you. I think you have network issues so we can do that. Okay good afternoon. I think I'm okay. Yes I'm much better. So this story is about a certain man named Kelabe who is who is from Poila village. This unique and mythological story it believes to be true and it has always been buried under only within the village until today the tale of Kelabe. A barren widow had the guardianship of the Bintzalra hunky Marong as the chieftest while her stay at night someone would come and visit her in her sleep so she said to the folks what could be happening for Ayama widow my husband is dead but someone comes to me in my sleep every night and I wonder who could that person be but all the folks denied of being that person so they decided that they would look out for her. The man fastened and secured all the picket sand skates and took with tens of slips putting off the fire and lay guard in their own position and whispered to her when you sense him leave tell us. The man came to her that night again and when he was about to leave the woman shouted there he went and since the folks have covered the entries and guarded the yard he could not find a way out so he perched over to Langkap which means the banister of the front door in the upper edge of the morang and he walked off in the dark. The man folks could not decipher the strange phenomena and said yeah that is not a human but rather a ghost how could this be possible then in the coming day the woman found herself conceived with a child. She bears a son but when his name was to be given she could not bring about any name with a meaning for he wasn't a human child but as a loving mother she said for I have asked of him I shall name him Kelobe meaning asked. Kelobe grew up in the shelter of the Bingsa morang in Poilua as a wealthy man it was heard that he had a pit in the lower set of his house known as Kelobe in Rikwok meaning the pit of his wretches some said he ate human and would spew on unusual days and there would lay in the pit the remnants of flesh and blood. As he grew older and older and reached the brink of his death one day he called to his children and said to them would you want me to die an aged death and bury me or let me take my own life for if I take my own life I can come back and protect my people but if not and I die an aged death I cannot return to defend but must you make a ritual burial if I am to be buried. His children said hey for it would not be a pleasant thing to say my mother and father have lost they have wondered of so would you die a well sinned days and must we prepare your ritualistic burial. Then he agreed and on his dying breath he told them remember that when I die do not bury me late but on the day of his death the folks quite delayed in taking him to the grave hence in the midst of preparation Kelobe's dead body became inhumanely unusual so they feared and hurried him off to the grave which is also in the sad place of his wretches but came the next morning and things grew much stranger for when the people went out to see his grave there was a great crater and the ground was hollow the people gathered and stood at distance and murmured to themselves saying probably even if we dig for his body there would be none he was gone the tale of Kelobe has been passed down through oral tradition from our ancestor and for this story I visited one of the elders of our own clan called Helsund clan which is also the clan of Kelobe after the death of this man Kelobe before christianity around me the clan would perform rituals for seven days before season as a veneration for him that's the story to everyone the students have presented a variety of beautiful parts of their own tribe now we move on to the next part of the session that is the Q&A session if you have any questions that you want to ask to the presenters please turn on your microphone and ask or you can even use the chat option and ask any questions that you have I can read a few moments if anyone is looking to ask any questions or if the students has if the students have presented the story well I think the students have presented quite well so no questions I think we just want to thank each and everyone for joining us in this webinar in storytelling and narrating each of their own folklore to the audience I hope everyone has enjoyed and learned something new about their tribes as well thank you so much for joining in everyone I think we can conclude with this
