Machaf nu Waab Ⅱ(Yapese Traditional CurrenciesⅡ)
This is similar to the story of the Genesis flood in the Bible. This legend states that there was a big flood when a man mistakenly killed a rat who was the incarnation of his wife’s mother. The story starts with a rat that snuck into the house and ate all the sugar cane reserved for the man’s children. The man got mad at the rat and set a trap to kill it. The rat was killed and brought in a big flood that covered the whole island of Yap.
