When we arrive in the country, during orientation we stay with a family for five weeks, in their village, to learn about PNG culture, the Tok Pisin langauge and to just make friends. This is my adopted grandma. I called her "Ai", the term of respect for an older woman in the local language. She has a ready smile, an infectious laugh, no teeth, and very large cigarettes.
One day in the village my family told me to go to the wash place and look for the snake. This is what we found. The snake tried to eat the frog/toad; but the frog was cleverer than that and poisoned the snake. Which resulted in a sort of loveless Romeo and Juliet end scenario.
