Summary
The frog and the rat are best friends, they call each other Manayu or Mayumi. In their good company, the rat thought that they would compete in the jump to find out which of them would jump the highest. So the rat said to the frog, "Manyu, let's compete over who can jump the highest." "Sure. It would be good if we had a contest. Where to hold?" the frog replied. "There at Walu's house. We'll go up and jump. Manyu, come on," said the rat. They climbed to the top of the house. The first to jump was the rat and the frog followed. But when the frog landed, his foot broke. The rat panicked and said, "You're so pathetic. Your foot is broken. Come, I'll load you up behind me and we'll find a doctor who can heal your broken foot." They soon arrived at a place where an old woman was mowing the grass. "Ale, can you fix this Manayu flipped foot?" the rat asked. "Yes. "Wait until I'm done," the old woman replied. "I'll leave him here first and I'll be back tomorrow morning to pick him up." The rat left the frog and left. As soon as the rat left, the old lady got an onion. The frog asked him if he would take the onion. The old man answered. "So I can treat you." They went up to the house. He took the frog and wrapped it in the leaf with the onion. He roasted it and ate it. The next morning, the rat came back and asked the elder if he had healed his dear friend. The old man replied, "I couldn't fix his foot because I ate him yesterday." And he chased the earth to roast but it ran away immediately. The rat invited various animals such as bees, bees, ants, lapinigs, linta, squirrels and snakes and said they would gather at the old man's house at night. When the insects arrived, they attacked the old man. He hid in the bush but was bitten by the locusts, ants and the mob. He ran up the stairs and here, the snake bit him. Finally, the old man died.
