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.
