How the teleriko ate up the taro pudding

This is the story of a man who carried his taro pudding in a coconut-leaf basket. As he went along the road he met a teleriko. The teleriko said,

“ I will eat of your taro pudding.”

He took out a piece and handed it to her. Having swallowed it whole the teleriko said,

“I will eat of your taro pudding.”

He got out another piece, and handed it to her. She swallowed it whole.

The teleriko did this until the pudding was finished. Then he threw down the basket and fled from it.

(This is probably the same story as No.19, that of the Leriko and the Bananas, but not so well told.)
