The broken rifle
The claw-man appears as a woman
The cowbird and the thrush
The crazy man
A dream I had
The fearful new husband
The first time I killed a bird
The giant
The golden grandson
The hare which ate everything he found
The hawk that went to the woods with his brother-in-law the dove
I was a real liar
The jay and the hawk
The man on horseback
The man who split the bowl
The man with one hand
The monkey who liked to swing
The old man who was deaf
The old woman who sang
The poor man
The sun the moon and the demon
Unhappy animals
What we eat from the palm tree
When I didn’t know how to speak Portuguese
When I got startled on the path
When I tricked my mother
When I went to the woods
When I went to the woods with non-Indians
When Pedro Malasartes tricked the priest
When salt and soap were unknown
When the wild dog went hunting with the lion
When Toe-stumper guarded the collards
The wild man who pulled on the coatis’ tails
With my bow
