asakiyume: (Timor-Leste nia bandeira)
This is a story that Nando (Fernando da Costa Pires), whom I met in 2013 when I visited Ainaro, Timor-Leste, wrote. Stories of special relationships between people and the natural and supernatural world are not uncommon in Timor, but this story is unique: it's part of Nando's own family history. I've translated it into English, and we present you with both versions, so that readers of both Tetun and English can enjoy it. Tomorrow I will post an interview with Nando.

Versaun Tetun iha versaun Inglés nia okos. Ami espera imi gosta istória ida ne'e husi Ainaro. Aban ha'u sei ta'u intervista ida ho Nando iha website ne'e.
