"Ah!' said the Eldest Magician. "Now I know who has been
playing with the Sea;' and he called out, 'What are you doing,
Pau Amma?
And Pau Amma, deep down below, answered. "Once a day
and once a night I go out to look for my food. Once a day
and once a night I return. Leave me alone.
They describe how Pau Amma plays.

animals.
They describe the tasks the Eldest Magician gives to the

Then the Eldest Magician said. "Listen, Pau Amma. When
you go out from your cave the waters of the Sea pour down
into Pusat Tasek, and all the beaches of all the islands are
left bare, and the little fish die, and Raja Moyang Kaban, the
King of the Elephants, his legs are made muddy. When you
come back and sit in Pusat Tasek, the waters of the Sea
rise, and half the little islands are drowned, and the Man's
house is flooded, and Raja Abdullah, the King of the
Crocodiles, his mouth is filled with the salt water.'
