IN THE FIJI ISLANDS THE WOMEN OF THE HOUSEHOLDS CATCH FISH
IN THEIR MOUTHS DURING THE PLENTIFUL SEASON. BEFORE THEY GO OUT TO
THE WATER, THEY GREASE THEIR FACES UP SO THEY
WON'T DISTRACT THE FISH.

"ONE OF THE THINGS WE USED TO DO WAS GO TO THE FOREST AND FIND A
LONG STRAND OF SPIDER WEB. WE WOULD THEN STICK AN ANT TO THE END
OF THE WEB AND DROP IT INTO THE RIVER. WHEN WE FELT A TUG ON THE
END WE WOULD LIFT A TINY NEEDLE FISH OUT OF THE WATER. THE TINY
FISH WOULD SWALLOW THE ANT AND GET CAUGHT ON THE WEB."
