We spent the day cooking: tuna fish, Chinese cabbage, and umalau in a curry coconut sauce for lunch, lelenga to go on the fire before Evening Prayer, and pumpkin leaves to serve to the visiting catechists after Evening prayer. While I was picking the munu leaves off of the branches Aaron had hacked down for me, I found a huge red spider. Needless to say, it surprised me, and I hollered. Aaron heard me from the house and called out to make sure I was okay. I left the last few leaves on the branch where the spider was hiding, and stacked up the leaves, thinking I would come back and take the last few leaves (munu amane) after the spider made its exit. I put the lelenga on the fire and went back for the munu leaves. First I shook the branch really well, then I took the top leaf. Much to my chagrin, the spider had merely moved underneath the leaf! So, I left the last few leaves and carried the big branch to the brush pile, spider and all.
