‘ToKanao, a clever fisherman who is able to unscrew his head from his neck and swallow all the fish he catches, is sabotaged by Talka who hides his head. Three years later, a coconut tree grows, bearing fruit similar to ToKanao’s head, thus providing food for many forever after’ (source: introduction).
