This story happened to my paternal great-grandmother, and was told by her daughter, who is my grandmother. As a child, my great-grandmother lived on a farm. Her father supported the family in the fields. Every day, she would take food to her father in the garden, a place far from home. Her little dog always went with her.
One day, when she was taking the lunch box to her father, walking very calmly along the trail, in a place where the woods were closed, she saw that the little dog began to whimper and curl around her own legs. The girl realized that something strange was happening. She looked around and saw a very large jaguar, with the boat armed, about to jump out of the grass on top of her. When she saw the jaguar, the girl was staring at the damned. Little by little, always looking at the animal, she moved back without turning around. When she got a good distance, the girl sprinted away until she felt safe.
When she got home, she was voiceless. After a long time she managed to speak. The men from the farm took their weapons and went to look for the jaguar. But they didn't find her. My great-grandmother was very brave, because, when she saw the jaguar, she was able to remember what people said: “Jaguars don't attack from the front, because they're afraid of the person's face. Anyone who wants to get rid of it, just face the damned and don't turn your back on her.”.
