(189) As nothing promises to happen anywhere in the village I go back to answer Wright's letter and only return after lunch. At the Thepong morung a boy shows me the piece of head which had been hanging on the skull tree and now is placed on one of the stones of the morung area. No one seems to care for it at the moment and I go off to Shankok's house. There I just encounter the group of young men and boys who are going from house to house dancing, that is to all the houses that have killed pigs, and who are served everywhere. They mostly dance on the open platform or inside the house. (190) The Thepong women who have married into other morungs, for example Medzou's wife, also come to the houses of their relatives and participate in the meal. |
