A man is shipwrecked, but finds his way to a small but, fortunately, inhabited island. The people had seen the ship go down, and were waiting on the beach to celebrate any survivors - a bonfire, a feast, and much constant drumming. While this is all most welcome at first, the drumming begins to wear thin after dinner, and he asks the nearest person When does the drumming stop? The reply comes Oh, very bad when drumming stops! Several hours later, as he develops a killer headache from the pounding, he again asks When does the drumming stop? and receives the same answer. About midnight, as he's getting ready to go to sleep, he asks again, and again is told Very bad when drumming stops! It continues all night, precluding sleep, and by morning he's so frazzled he grabs the first person he sees and, shaking them, yells WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DRUMMING STOPS?!?!?!
