English translation: We have a tree called Oiti. This tree is very special. When the younger boys must go into the forest to eat meat, they go sit near this tree and eat the meat and drink the meat soup. When they drink water, they mix it with the sap of this tree. We carve the bark of this tree and put it in water until the water changes color to resemble the bark of the tree. Once it becomes red, you leave it for about three hours (and then drink).
