Sina and the Eel

 Once upon a time, way back in the days on an island named Savai´i, lived a beautiful young girl named Sina. On the island, Sina befriended and eel. Every evening, under the moonlight, they would swim and talk. He told Sina of how he was once a prince. He grew larger and more demanding over Sina´s love. At this time Sina was frightened by him. So she ran to relatives in a nearby village.

She would make excuses just to get away but that wouldn't keep him away from Sina, sometimes he would follow her or come up to appear at the surface of the water. She eventually told her uncle and cousin. Soon her cousin was sent to kill the eel. He sliced and sliced his head off his body. R.I.P Prince Eel.

Sina cried and with his last breath, he asked Sina to bury his head for remembrance. Soon after, his head will sprout a tree that would bear fruit with refreshing nectar. The eels face will be on the fruit, 2 eyes 1 mouth. Each time Sina drinks from the fruit she would be in fact kissing the eel.

And that's the story of Sina and the Eel.

The End.

The Legend of Sina Ma Le Tuna

Long, Long ago in the ancient village in Samoa lived a beautiful girl named Sina. She befriended an Eel and every evening they would talk under the moonlight and swim in the dark ocean.

He would tell Sina of how he was once a handsome prince. Every time he would grow larger and more demanding of Sina's love. She escaped and ran into relatives in a nearby village. She would use every excuse to get away from the Eel but he would follow her everywhere and up to the appearing of the waters.

She told her uncles and cousins of her fear of the Eel and soon her cousin was sent to confront the Eel. In a battle the Eel's head was already apart from his body.

In his final breath he asked Sina to bury his head. In that one day, as a reminder of his love, he sprouted into a tree and brought a fruit with refreshing nectar.

The Eel's face would be on the fruit. Two eyes and one mouth. So every time Sina drank the fruit she would in fact be kissing him.

The End
