A trap for squirrels, jungle rats and other small animals. In every village I have seen special huts where people keep the rice. Here there is not enough and the few sacks resulting from the harvest are kept in the kitchen. With both me and Montree looking around for a few days the whole story came out. After every harvest there is rice enough to support the village for about 3 month.
Every family rises pigs and cows and chicken.
Every family have coconut trees and grow some vegetable. What every family eats is rice, small fish from the stream, birds catch using slings and small animals catch with traps in the jungle. For some families is only rice and salt. Every family will have days of rice and salt sometime in the year. In my traveling, especially in Africa, I have seen my share of poor villages, where food is a rare commodity, but here it is different.
