| Description | There was a man who used to sneak every night into a young woman's house who lived a little further down; he had to cross a creek without getting wet, but one time the creek had overflowed until it seemed to cover the whole forest and it seemed like an open ocean. But he had to cross it, and unfortunately he became the prey of an alligator. Only his spirit reached the room of his lover and began to play the birimbao , telling her through this instrument what had happened. So, the parents of both of them found out what happened and went to kill the monstrous beast. Note: This story is repeated in resource NOA003R250I001. |
