Teura, of the royal family of Anau in Bora Bora was a princess of great beauty with a slender body, but she was also a very skilled warrior of remarkable efficiency. She had the particularity of being fond of bees.
One day, the king had to be absent from the island of Bora Bora to carry out control visits, and therefore entrusted the island to him. Some time later, an enemy army attacked the island. With her army they resisted their assailants, but fatigue arrived, she asked the bees to come and help them. The bees came and goaded the enemies. Thanks to her allies, she won the victory.
The great warrior went into the river that flows in the Papenoo Valley to relieve herself, at the same time the river grew and flowed abundantly. Since then, when this phenomenon occurs, we say: “Ua mimi o Teura vahine”, which means: “Princess Teura pees”.
