through. 汤贝的父亲叫莫卡普，他把我们带到他的家里，这是一个低矮的竹屋，屋顶上伸出一簇茅草——它表示这间竹屋是男人住的。屋子是圆的，不像学校那样是长方形的。这里没有窗户，房门只够一个人进出。

Outside Mukap was building a fire. Once the fire was going, he laid stones on it. When hot, he placed them in an empty oil drum with kau kau (sweet potato), corn and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. 莫卡普在屋子边生火。火着起来后，他往火里扔了几块石头。烧热之后，他把石头放在一个空油桶里，加上一些考考(红薯)、玉米和青菜。然后用香蕉叶子把这些蔬菜盖上，等着它们蒸熟。

Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. They believe that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night, so the food is dried up in the can and the can is then thrown out of the hut. 汤贝告诉我，罐子加热是为了把里面的残菜剩饭烧干。他们相信剩饭在夜晚会引来邪灵，所以要把食物放在罐子里烧干，再把罐子一起扔到屋外去。 My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe's family. 我的腿部肌肉发痛，膝盖发抖。那天晚上我很开心，倒在床上就睡了。跟汤贝一家度过一天，真是一种殊荣。
