Eduardo Galeano Quotes

The Crocodile The Sun Of The Macusi People Was Worried. Every Day There Were Fewer Fish In Their Ponds. He Put The Crocodile In Charge Of Security. The Ponds Got Emptier. The Crocodile, Security Guard And Thief, Invented A Good Story About Invisible Assailants, But The Sun Didn't Believe It, Took A Machete, And Left The Crocodile's Body All Crisscrossed With Cuts. To Calm Him Down, The Crocodile Offered His Beautiful Daughter In Marriage. "I'll Be Expecting Her," Said The Sun. As The Crocodile Had No Daughter, He Sculpted A Woman In The Trunk Of A Wild Plum Tree. "Here She Is," He Said, And Plunged Into The Water, Looking Out Of The Corner Of His Eye, The Way He Always Looks. It Was The Woodpecker Who Saved His Life. Before The Sun Arrived, The Woodpecker Pecked At The Wooden Girl Below The Belly. Thus She, Who Was Incomplete, Was Open For The Sun To Enter. (112)
