But be careful not to do it too hard, or I shall make a magic on you as I did to Pau Amma.’ Then they all went up the Perak River and went to bed, Best Beloved. Based on the details in the excerpt, what is its primary purpose? to explain to children that the moon causes the tides to warn fishers to avoid pulling too hard on their lines to entertain children with a joke about a rat and a fisherman to inform fishers about when it is easiest to sail on the Perak River
