Tale 1 is from my book "Volcanic Adventures in Tonga" (website). Imagine yourself stuck on a remote South Pacific island, without the comforts of Western civilisation but surrounded by friendly Polynesians. One telephone on the island, the social hub. When walking the short distance to the phone, one stops each time someone else walks the other way. Conversations are to be held about where and why one wanders, and many of those walking in the opposite direction now change course to follow you. A phone call is a social sensation, after all.
