        The nerite is another shell of the sea. The nerites are plenty in the stones of the island of Teavorana. When the moon shines the nerites crawl out of the stones where they hide from the sun. The people go to get the nerites at night when the moon shines. Then they fill their baskets and bags. When they come home, they give them to others.
