This picture of me with a & #39;bilibili& #39; reminded me of an incident that had happened while I was teaching at Nasau District School in the interior of Ra.I was always fascinated and loved riding the & #39;bilibili& #39; while I was there because it was something new to me.
So one day after....

...school on a Friday I went down to the river with some of my students and 4 children of fellow colleagues to swim.While swimming we found this & #39;bilibili& #39; tied to the other side of the river.We swam to it;boarded and happily rode it down to & #39;Namasi& #39; bridge which was about...

1km away from school and walked back excitedly talking about how much fun we were having.The students went to their homes and we returned to school.While I was at home in school when I heard the & #39;Turaga ni Koro& #39; announcing in the village whether someone had seen Tui Nasau& #39;s...

Apparently the chief of the village was stuck on the other side of the river and couldn& #39;t come across because his & #39;bilibili& #39; was missing.
By this time I was almost having a heart attack but thought no one would be...

He was waiting for me with some of his elders and straight to the point asked me whether I was the one responsible for taking his & #39;bilibili& #39; without seeking his permission.
I timidly...

...confirmed that yes it was me and I was really sorry for what I had done because I had no idea that the & #39;bilibili& #39; belonged to him.He then asked one of his sons to get the biggest & #39;bilo& #39; they had which was the size of a basin and I had to drink kava from it as my...

...punishment.Let& #39;s just say I was relieved that it ended there and from that day onwards I never took other people& #39;s & #39;bilibili& #39; without seeking their permissionhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">
