The Story of Ula

The wicked spirit Saruram set the forest fire. Just one man escaped alive. He hid in a hole in the ground and breathed trough a hollow stick. Many days later, he left the hole. The land around was all black and bare. There were no people, animals, or plants. He was all alone and there was nothing to eat. Rather than starve to death, he set out westwards. He traveled towards the source of the great river where, according to the legends, his ancestors came from. An ugly looking creature appeared; it was Saruram, the wicked spirit who had destroyed the forest.

Saruram spoke, “I am sorry,” he said. “It was wrong of me to destroy your world. I want to make up for the damage I have done. Take this handful of seeds, and sow them. You will bring back all the plants of the earth.”

Within seconds of planting, a forest miraculously sprang to life. From the forest the man heard a voice; a beautiful young woman was calling him. He fell in love with her at once. The couple married and had many sons, but only one daughter. The girl had her mother’s beauty and wisdom. Her brothers protected her jealously, and she longed for a friend of her own.

One day, as she was walking alone in the forest, she met Ula, who was half man, half tree. She fell madly in love with him. Every day, she returned to see him. Her mother noticed she had changed. She spent hours painting her face and decorating her hair with flowers and feathers. In the end, the girl owned up to her mother, who said: “If you really love Ula, I shall not forbid you to see him. But get him to marry you.” Ula agreed to marry her. They lived happily together.

One day Ula met a Jaguar while out hunting. There was a terrible battle. The Jaguar attacked the tree man. Ula fought bravely, but the Jaguar carried him off. Ula’s young wife sat up all night waiting for her husband’s return. In the morning, her brothers went out to search for him. She went with them, carrying her baby.

They found her husband’s remains: bones, leaves, branches, and all. Kneeling down, she put them back together, and spoke some magic words. Ula’s wife hugged him closely, ad closed his eyes. Soon, to her surprise, she heard Ula speaks: “I’ve been asleep for a long time.”

Ula asked his wife to wait while he went to drink from a stream. He bent down to take some water and gazed at his reflection. Something was wrong. At last he realized what was new. He was no longer a tree man.
