A long, long time ago, there was a poor little boy in a village by a river. His name was Rairahtea. He lived with his stepmother who was very cruel to him and always made him do the hardest of work. One day, all the boats on the river near his village were stranded in water and unable to sail. The sailors had never had any major problem because they had a bahhnukte, an axe which had magical powers. But it had now been stolen by a python so the sailors, helpless without their magic axe, decided to offer a human sacrifice.
When Rairahtea’s stepmother heard of this, she sold him to the sailors in return for a bowl of money. Rairahtea stayed with the sailors and guarded their stores of rice. One day, as he was on duty, a python suddenly crawled towards him. It was the same python which had stolen the sailors’ magic axe and was running away from them.
The python begged Rairahtea to save him but he refused saying, “I am also a captive and you are too big for me to hide. So if we must die, let us die together.” But the python said, “I can make myself smaller and I will give you anything if you hide me.” He then made himself smaller and smaller until he was reduced to the size of a needle. Rairahtea then took the needle-sized python and hid him in his hair.
The sailors soon came in search of the python and asked, “Rairahte, have you seen a python?” He replied, “No, I have not. Why do you ask?” They did not believe him because the trail left by the python ended next to Rairahtea. But Rairahtea insisted, “I have not seen any python and even if I did, how can I possibly hide it?” The sailors believed him and went away.
After they left, the python came back to his original size and crawled down from Rairahtea’s head. “You have saved me from death so I will give you anything you want. Just name it, ” he said and vomitted out jewels and money…
