pianos in Papua New Guinea

[j kazanjian]

Dear list,
 Yes, there are pianos in P.N.G.
A number of years ago I worked in the interior of Papua New Guinea.There 
were so many different languages spoken{not dialects} that mostly 
everyone "talked pidgin" to communicate.I thought some you might get a 
kick out of the way the villagers described a piano....

  Wanpela bigpela box. Dispela box i got planti tet.Now yu fightem tet 
an box i cri out. 
  Translation: one big box.this box has plenty teeth. Now you fight the 
teeth and the box cries out.
