Story source: Notes on the Folklore of the Fjort by Richard Edward Dennett (1898)
There was a very clever fisherman, and everyday he caught an abundance of fish. He would smuggle the fish into his house so no one would know that he had caught any. Every day, his family would ask him if he caught any fish and he would lie. Sunga, a fetish, had been watching over and grew sick of his lies. She sent one of her servants to lure him to this beautiful town in a lake. Everyone welcomed him, and made him sit at the table loaded of food and wine. They told him to have some, but he was skeptical about why there was this ceremony for him. After Sunga pushed him more to drink and eat, he finally did and drank all the wine. Then Sunga took his voice away so that he couldn't lie anymore, and would have to use signs to communicate.
