Papa Umpo tells this original story, broadcast by the Foresee Foundation in 2020. The goddess watches over the pond, notices what people do around it and reacts. The story connects the care of a shared place with everyday behaviour. The linked recording lets you hear the episode in the storyteller’s voice.
