Fish, fish, fish, fish, pengeleng, Come on the river, come pengeleng.
So the little fish come to her and she play play play, let go the fish and the fish go back in the river.
An’ when she go back home, her mother quarrel, say she wait back so long. Next day, wouldn’t send her back to river, send the other daughter. So when the other daughter went, she sung the same song she hear her sister sing,—
“Fish fish fish fish, pengeleng,
Come on the river, pengeleng.”
She catch the fish, bring it home, they cook the fish for dinner and save some for the other daughter. When she came, she didn’t eat it for she knew it was the said fish. She begin to sing,
“Fish fish fish fish, pengeleng!”
The other sister said, “T’ank God, me no eat de fish!” The mother said, “T’ank God, me no eat de fish!” She go on singing until all the fish come up and turn a big fish, and she take it put it back in the river.
