A year after a man and wife lose a son, the crops of their tribe fail and the men of the tribe took to the waters of the rivers, lakes and the sea to fish. Their main aim was to catch was halibut, to keep them from starving. But even the fish catch was meagre and the people grew thinner and thinner.

Just when all seems lost, they hear a sound in the drying house and go to investigate. They find two freshly caught devifish (octopus). This fills them with hope and joy as they can use the devilfish as bait for the next day’s fishing.
But the wife of the man who found the devilfish is mystified and wonders at just who brought the devilfish. This is when things start to change……
