| Description | It is said that a man was made pregnant in his calf , from which two males were born. When these males became adults, someone told them that their parents had died from snake bites and htey got revenge by killing the whole species. Then after asking again, they were told that a boa snake had devoured their parents so they also exterminated it. Finally, after being told that the sun had killed their parents, they decided to end it, and almost ripped it from its place. Recorded between 1964 & 1968. |
