The Colo colo is a mythical Mapuche (the Native people in this region) creature that is a mix between a rat, rooster, and a serpent and sucks the saliva from people whilst they are sleeping. My fear of rats is no longer so ridiculous is it? They are a dangerous species and have the ability to procreate with other species. I feel a James Cameron hit coming.
This handsome creature is the Trauco, he lives in the forest and carries a small hatchet with him . He uses this hatchet to strike down trees and declare his sexual potency. He is irresistible to young and middle aged women, whoever the Trauco chooses will come to him and fall down at his feet. In Chile, if a girl "falls" pregnant and no one steps up as the father it is assumed that the Trauco is the father, the girl is blameless because no one can resist his charms. I keep expecting to see millions of little dwarf like children, but haven't yet. Darn.
What I fear most in this country is the Construction workers, they just drive their trucks wherever they want, knock down buildings, and whistle at me all within a two minute span. I guess I would rather deal with this than with an irresistible troll/gnome man and those darn rats.
I do not like the colo colo.
ReplyDeleteWait there is a guy who walks around Multnomah Village where I live, singing at the top of his lungs and playing the air guitar...I think his father may be that dwarf man. He looks just like him.
ReplyDeleteI googled "Multnomah Village" "air guitar" and I found you. I have released the curse.
