Description:One .wav file, with accompanying .eaf annotation file. María Miranda Llergo narrates the story of Wupa ñũshĩwu, the South American Palm Weevil (Rhynchophorus palmarum) spirit. A single woman is gathering food in the forest when she hears a palm weevil buzz by and implores it to become a human man and live as her husband. The palm weevil spirit turns into a short, bald, pitch black man, and accompanies her home. Unfortunately, he doesn't hunt or fish -- he only gathers palm weevil grubs, which are actually his lice. When the young woman gets angry and publicly insults him for only feeding her family grubs, he becomes ashamed, transforms back into a weevil, and flies away. This traditional narrative was volunteered by the speaker and performed extemporaneously.
