The kids were put in cages. The mother was tied and gagged. The father was put on a
pole and carried. Since it was a good catch, the tribesmen needed additional help. The
trip to the village was perhaps a half days journey. Once the family was there there
was 6 bamboo poles about 15 ft in ht in the ground. The villagers gathered around
and admired the prisoners. The family would have just one day of dignity left. The chief
arrived. He felt more dominant over the Europeans and so it was decided that one of
the prisoners would be the feast and so the chief had to inspect the catch and so the
prisoners were forced to have the clothes taken off. Besides they needed baths too
since they all stank to death. It was determined that the father would be the feast, the
mother and two daughters would be slaves and the two sons their fates yet to be
determined. The men and women were separated. There was general agreement that
the whole family needed more fattening. They would still do their stripping in front of
the chief to get a good inspection. First the worn out shoes went. The material could
be used for other purposes. Finally since all other articles of clothing were dirty and of
no use, they were thrown in the fire. The girls showed a sign of pudginess. They were
poked and rubbed. Their long hair was down to their lil behinds. They were carried off
to the barn where the swine were. The mother was nice and plump, and so she still
had 4 years of child bearing left in her and would be taken to the fattening hut to gain
more weight and be another bride for the chief. The father was taken to a separate hut
where livestock get slaughtered and fattened up. The two boys were roped off and
taken to the priest for magical transformation. A family transformed forever...
