    Though it did not eat fruit the yara-ma-yha-who was oft found in what fruit tree?

    Question #107044. Asked by BRY2K. (Jul 12 09 7:00 PM)

    Fig tree.

    "The Yara-ma-yha-who is a creature from Australian Aboriginal folklore. This creature resembles a little red man with a very big head and large mouth with no teeth. On the ends of its hands and feet are suckers. It lives in fig trees and does not hunt for food, but waits until an unsuspecting traveler rests under the tree, then catches the victim and drains their blood using the suckers on its hands and feet, making them weak. It later comes back and consumes the person, drinks some water, and then takes a nap. When the Yara-ma-yha-who awakens, it regurgitates the victim, leaving it "shorter" than before. The victim's skin also turns slightly more "red" than before."

    When I was a little girl growing up in Ghana, there used to be a fruit which resembled a cranberry. My memory says it was on a tree, but it was probably a bush. Anyway, one bite of this little red fruit with a pit would render anything else eaten after it sweet for several hours. Anyone know what it is?
