Jose and Mariano Meet Taotaomon'a
by Bill BeckerCollection of stories about two boys and their experiences with the spirits and other supernatural forces on the island of Guam. "The Taotaomon'a stories in this book were gathered from many of the customers that came to SHIRLEY'S COFFEE SHOP in Mangilao over the past ten years. Some of the stories recount the personal experience of the tale-teller while other stories seem to be stories retold for ages... I have used the names 'Jose' and 'Mariano' for my fictional characters that are 10-year old cousins with no specific last name... Taotaomon 'a are not to be feared but the ancient spirits are to be respected because they are busy on earth completing their task to get to the great beyond. Remember, be polite, ask permission and please say 'excuse me' to avoid offending them." Bill Becker

The foothills weren't bad, but once we hit the main slope, our truck ground to a halt. We unhooked the trailer and stood for a while. One look at the household goods scattered along the ditch made it clear what he had to do, but Mother didn't want to face it. Though it was hot as Hades, Daddy let her talk it all out. <P>Finally Mother nodded. The trailer was the first thing to go. Daddy and I eased it onto the road shoulder. Then we pried off the best boards and used them to reinforce the stake bed sides on the truck. Next, using the old nails for hooks, we hung up the pails and basins. Mother never blinked as we tossed away two crocks, three mattresses, and her bedspring. But when we picked up her cedar hope chest, she teared up bad. <P>Free of the trailer, Daddy revved up the truck and gave the hill another try, but she still gave out. "No-good, gutless engine," Daddy said, kicking at a tire. ..."
