Crossing the Amazon River - Heaven & Hell (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
What I will tell happened a long, long time, almost when dinosaurs still existed. This occurred in a village on the banks of the Amazon when it was summer, a hot, dry summer. The story begins when an indigenous family of that village orders the youngest daughter to bring some fruits, fruits which are only in the other side of the river.
The girl couldn’t say no and she took a basket and parted. She walked and walked for hours. She was beginning to despair when in the distance she saw the great banks of the Amazon River. She increased the speed and she started running. She arrived to the Amazon River in the blink of an eye and there she could see many birds, five ducks, many fish...; but then she had a problem, how could she cross the river? She despaired, sat on a rock near the water and began to mourn.
Suddenly, one of the ducks came and offered her aid. The girl asked to the duck how could it order her to cross the river, because she was heavy for the duck. Immediately the duck replied that he couldn’t do it on its own, but with their peers, together, yes they would be able to do it.
In this way the ducks joined forming a platform and said to the girl to get on top of it. Thus, the girl managed to cross the river and go home with the fruits. And so, she learned that with the union nothing was impossible. This union was her heaven.
