` Then climb up that cocoa-nut tree , with your legs only , not using your hands , ' said the woman . Now the natives can run up cocoa-nut trees like squirrels , some using only one hand ; the girls can do that . But few can climb without using their hands at all . ` At the top of the tree you will find two cocoa-nuts . You must not throw them down , but carry them in your hands ; and you must descend as you went up , using your legs only . ' ' I shall try , at least , ' said Pivi . And up he went , but it was very difficult , and down he came . ` Here are your cocoa-nuts , ' he said , presenting them to the woman . ` Now , Pivi , put them in the shed where you lay , and when the sun sets to cool himself in the sea and rise again not so hot in the dawn you must go and take the nuts . ' All day Pivi played about in the river , as the natives do , throwing fruit and silvery showers of water at each other . When the sun set he went into the hut . But as he drew near he heard sweet voices talking and laughing within . ` What is that ? People chattering in the hut ! Perhaps they have taken my cocoa-nuts , ' said Pivi to himself . In he went , and there he found two pretty , laughing , teasing girls . He hunted for his cocoanuts , but none were there . Down he ran to the river . ` Oh , lady , my nuts have been stolen ! ' he cried .
` Come with me , Pivi , and there will be nuts XXXXX you , ' said the woman .
