In this narrative, an ancestor of the Kĩsêdjê goes hunting and kills a monkey up in a tree. He climbs up the tree to fetch it and when he comes down, the monster Khátpy is already waiting for him. Khátpy hits him unconscious and puts him in a basket to carry home and feed to his hungry children. Stopping mid-way to open a trail in the forest, Khátpy leaves the basket on the ground unattended. When he finishes cutting part of the trail open, he comes back, fetches the basket and carries it up to the end of the trail. He repeats this process a few times until the Kĩsêdjê ancestor wakes up and realizes what is happening. The ancestor quietly waits for the monster to leave the basket unattended again and counts the time it takes for the monster to come back. Khátpy comes back, fetches the basket and carries it up to the end of the trail. He then leaves the basked unattended once more to continue opening the trail. The ancestor then comes out of the basket but, before running away, he fills it with rocks so the monster won’t realize he has escaped. Though Khátpy feels that the basket has become heavier, he still carries it home without checking its contents. When he arrives home, his wives tell him there are only rocks and a few monkeys in the basket, but none of the big prey Khátpy claims he’s killed. Enraged, Khátpy fetches his club and goes back into the forest after the Kĩsêdjê ancestor. That is when the story ends, with the narrator excusing himself for only knowing what happened up to that point. This dataset contains the mediafiles.
