Long, long ago
In the ancient island of Savai'i
Lived a girl named Sina
She befriended an eel
And every evening under the moonlight
They would swim and talk
He told Sina of how he once was a prince
He grew larger and more demanding of Sina's love
In time this frightened Sina
And she escaped by running to relatives in a nearby village
Despite these attempts to get away from the eel
He would follow her
And often appear in waters wherever Sina went
She told her uncle and cousin of her fear of the eel
And soon her cousin was sent to confront the eel
In a battle the eel's head was severed
And in his final breath
He asked Sina to bury his head
And that one day, as a reminder of his love
His head would sprout a tree
That would bear fruit with a refreshing nectar
The eel's face would be on the fruit: two eyes and a mouth
So that each time Sina would drink from the fruit
She would be, in fact, kissing him.
