There is a cave in a mountain where long ago the gods gave food to

the people who stopped there. They told them to eat, but not to carry

away the plates. Many people going to the seashore to trade would

stop at the cave. The gods gave them food.

Once a man stopped and was fed by the gods, but took away the dishes

in which he had eaten. Then he was turned to stone, and (now) stands

in front of the cave. Water gushes from his mouth, and when there are

(people) passing by they drink it. After the plates were taken away

the gods stopped giving food.
