The story of a chase

My father tells the story of how he, Ku-u and Paleh chased a cuscus ('kapul' in tokpisin). Cuscus are marsupials, even though they have some appearances, traits and attributes like those of lemurs of Madagascar, which are prosimians. Most Manusians living in Manus have eaten cuscus since childhood. It is quite difficult to locate and catch them as they live high up in the trees. Young men who are really good at catching them can get three or four a day. It is not easy as one has to venture deeper into the forest and spend the whole day walking through the forest to locate one.
