  • Description: The daughters names were Melia and Elena Mahuto. This is the story of a girl who could do no manner of work and had to be looked after by her sisters. Eventually she was married and when she went to her husband's home she took three of her young sisters with her to look after her. One day when they had gone off to collect firewood, her mother-in-law asked her to pund a little grain in the mortar. She told her that this was impossible and that she must never do a stroke of work or she would die. The mother-in-law did not believe her and asked her to do just a few strokes with the pestle so that she could see for herself what would happen. She agreed and immediately fell down dead. When the three sisters returned with the firewood they found their sister was not there. Where was she? No one knew. They guessed what had happened and immediately they sang a magic song which revived her sister and she came alive again. When her husband's relatives saw all this they agreed that she must return to her own home and never come back as she could never make a good wife. Ngano story

  • Description: This is the story of a young man who fell in love with a girl down by the river. He did not know that she was indeed a water sprite and lived in the river. He kept on asking her to marry him, and in the end she agreed but told him that if he wanted to see her he must always come to the river. Eventually he said he wanted to take her to his home, but she said "If you do that you must always have a pot of water with you in case I should faint and only water will revive me". So he agreed, and off they set along the path. Soon she began to faint and he rushed to fetch water from the nearest stream and so revived her. On they went until she fainted again and this time the stream was much further away and he only arrived back just in time to revive her. Now there was a long distance without a stream and in the middle of it she fainted once more. He went as fast as he could to fetch the life-giving water but when he got back it was too late and she was already dead; and that is how he lost his wife, his water sprite. Ngano story.
