TEXT INTERPRETATION ACTIVITY

THE LEGEND OF GUARANA

AN INDIAN AND AN INDIA FROM THE MAUÉ TRIBE WISHED FOR MANY YEARS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE CHILD, BUT THE WOMAN WAS NOT PREGNANT.

ONE DAY, THEY ASKED TUPAN TO MEET THAT WISH, TO COMPLETE HIS HAPPINESS.

TUPAN, THE KING OF THE GODS, KNOWING THAT THE COUPLE WAS FULL OF GOODNESS, ANSWERED THE REQUEST, BRINGING THEM A BEAUTIFUL BOY.

TIME PASSED QUICKLY AND THE BOY GROWED BEAUTIFUL, GENEROUS AND GOOD.

HOWEVER, JURUPARI, THE GOD OF DARKNESS, WAS GREAT ENVY OF THE BOY AND OF THE PEACE AND HAPPINESS HE TRANSMITTED, AND THEN DECIDED REAP THAT LIFE IN FLOWER.

ONE DAY THE BOY WENT TO COLLECT FRUITS IN THE FOREST AND JURUPARI TAKE USE OF THE OCCASION TO RELEASE HIS VENGEANCE.

HE TURNED INTO A POISONOUS SNAKE AND BITTEN THE BOY, INSTANTLY KILLING HIM.

THE SAD NEWS SPREAD FAST.

WHEN THE BOY WAS BURIED, THE MOTHER WAS CRYING IN DESPERATION.

AT THIS MOMENT, THUNDER ECHOED IN THE FOREST AND STRONG LIGHTNING FALLED THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE.

IN THIS PLACE GUARANÁ HAS GROWN, WHOSE SEEDS ARE BLACK, EACH WITH A SMALL CIRCLE AROUND IT, IMITTING HUMAN EYES.
