A native scout prepares to slice off a piece of meat for dinner. By judicious selection of the order in which pieces are removed and eaten, the victim can be kept alive for several days, allowing the scout to remain away from the village for extended periods without having to hunt for food. The pained look on the woman's face is due to the fact that the scout forgot to remove his penis sheath before initiating a ritual that is loosely translated, "playing with one's food." The observant reader can see from the man's expression he remains somewhat embarrassed by his mistake.
