Each year, in the south pacific polynesian kingdom of Tonga, it is customary for a care gift to be given from one island village to the other.

The most prestigious gift is a caged fruit bat known locally as a 'flying fox'. The bat is then set free by the receiving village in a celebration of peace and goodwill. In some years, the gift may be not given; this choice is up to the sole discretion of the village leader. In those years the leader would declare 'I don't give a flying fox'.
