HORRIBLE RAKSASAS

And then they remembered their promise - the offering of a roasted tailless pig. Which, to put another way, means - a roasted baby. (Well, I told you it would be gruesome)

Well, now we have one Raksasa down, and one to go - for Pak Raksasa was still all alivel and stealing young girls like they'd lost the receipe and broken the mould. Till the day came when a clever man in a nearby village hit on an idea and called a meeting to plan how to kill the Raksasa. (Bloodthirsty little legend, is it not).

Anyway, this was the scheme: Every girl must at all times carry with her two handsful of rice wrapped in a cloth, and when one was stolen by the Raksasa, she must scatter a few grains all along the way, so that the villagers could follow the trail of rice to his secret cave. But when, at last, the villagers found their way to that sinister hole, none was brave enough to enter. Then the head man stepped forward: "Bring black palm thatch - as much as 100 men can carry - push it in front of the cave, inside as well, and put fire to it."
And so, in this way, the wicked Raksasa himself became a tailless roasted.
