Tau's family went to a community function and they feasted on a lot of
food. The following day Tau was not feeling well. His face and tummy
were swollen, his vision was blurred and his body was sore all over. His
father feels strongly that malicious people have put something into his
son's food in order to poison him. However, Tau's mother somehow
understood her son's condition as she believed that their son could
have taken after his grandfather who would most often vomit
uncontrollably after he ate at functions. Tau eventually decided to
consult with a traditional healer about his condition.
