- Description
- The boys go around at night in a group to tease the girls by standing outside their huts, pulling out their sleeping mats and generally making nuisances of themselves, so it was explained. "Unmarried boys "teka-teka" they break the mats. They mock and they do not get fat. Shaking the mats. We will report them to the elders, for breaking our mats." Girls song with clapping.
