Once upon a time, there was a brave man.He went to a mountain and found a pottery which is as big as a human being's head.And inside the pottery was a snake egg. The man then brought it home and put it down at the corner of his house.
As the time passed, tje snake egg grew bigger and bigger.One day, a boy was born from the egg.His name was Cololo.After he grew up, Cololo married a fairy called Moakaka.They are the ancestor of Rukai.
