ANCESTRAL STORIES OF OUR ASHANINKA-YANESHA TRADITION

Then to make fun of the tiger, the armadillo says to him: “brother-in-law I ate meat, with all his bones I ate it and all its hair.” “But it goes!”, says the tiger, “you only eat fruit.” “No, brother-in-law, we make a bet, we poop and see who the bones shits", says the armadillo , he’s cleverly thought “I’ll change his poop.” Mencoremon, Boca tigre, Apinka, El Tuco Sucking Eyes, The Hunter Grandmother, The Tiger and the Armadillo, The Squirrel and the Tiger and other stories of when animals talked and were people like us are included in the 20 ancestral tales of the Ashaninka-Yanesha tradition told by members of the native community San Jerónimo from Puerto Yurinaki in Peru.
