I invite you to enjoy an urban legend as we did in our childhood.

Welcome dear friends to another Saturday of suspense, we Correntinos are very superstitious, since we were children we were inculcated to believe and respect paranormal things, the earth without evil it houses thousands of stories of events that have been witnessed.

The land without evil can become a true adventure for when you are a child, home to hundreds of beautiful places to visit, wooded forests, lagoons of blue waters, shady lakes and meadows covered with zetas, go for a walk through the tree-lined alleys in hour from the siesta it becomes magical, although all these things are deprived on rainy days.

The week was long, were times of final tests at school, days to demonstrate everything learned during the year, finally arrived on Saturday, everything was planned the day before, football in the morning, after lunch a visit to the Magical lagoon of the neighborhood, finally some games in the forest.

The anxiety of the planning did not let me sleep, before the sun came out it was already up, the sky was gray, a bad sign for our games, something that after breakfast would prove it, the water emanating from the gray nines, They said that the day would be denied, living in a place like this with rain can be the most boring thing that can exist.

My mother had experience in these cases, she had to live similar situations, in these cases she entertained us telling us some of the strange experiences of her uncles, that is how she told us the story of the cane toad.

The cane toad is a strange animal, they are large animals, in some cases like a dog, these animals are not native to our lands, they were brought by immigrants to eliminate the pests of the cane fields.

My mother was born and raised in a place called San Judas, a place desolate and forgotten in time, ideal for strange things to happen. The grandfather was the oldest of many brothers, among them there was a teenager named Cornelio. Cornelio was an intrepid young man, those who did not fear anything, fell in love as he alone, as a boyfriend with many young people from the area, This reason, when night fell, saddled a chestnut tree and went out to shell women.

His mother was an old woman of native beliefs, always recommended that he not go out at night and be very careful with the cane toad. Cornelio listened to his mother and could not stop laughing when he heard these things, the grandmother always said the same thing, then do not say I did not warn you! End of discussion.

The uncle was very much in love with the daughter of the owner of the general store, curiously Ignacio, a good friend of Uncle Cornelio, also wanted the love of Isabela, the beautiful girl did not know who to decide, in those times, this type of dispute It was solved by a dagger.

Cornelius in this type of contest had a lot of experience, Ignacio was not a good rival, Ignacio knew this, but men often do anything crazy for a woman's love. Cornelio loved his friend very much, would never hurt him, tried to make him enter into reasons, for that I invite him to perform a feat. The test was to go to the forest and challenge the cane toad. According to the belief campera, the cane toad at night, if it was bothered could become a yaguareté very brave. Cornelius disbelieved this type of myths, believed that his friend would not dare to do something like this, however, surprising everyone present accepting the feat.

According to the legend the cane toad at night makes a very strange sound, something very similar to the cry of a small child, anyone who made an equal sound, defied the presence of the cane toad.

The friends in the dark of the night went to the mountain, the road was lit by a dim light of the moon, when they reached the depths of the forest they began to make the sound of the child's cry, while later they began to hear noises from branches that they broke, a sign that someone else was with them in the forest.

The noises became more frequent, the sound of the breaks of the branches indicated that something in the darkness was closer, in that moment the moon is covered by clouds, this made the forest very dark, in a flash of light They could see a huge toad among the branches, as big as the grandfather's dog. The toad opened its mouth and from it came the cry of the darkest child that could exist, the brave Cornelio froze in fear, saw how the toad grew bigger and bigger, fear made him close his eyes, Ignacio gained strength and knew where he came from and ran out of the forest.

Cornelio paralyzed with fear I only see a great shadow that ran by his side, followed by a very cold wind, steps back I hear the great roar of the yaguareté, when the moon's light returned, he could see that the cane toad I was not there anymore

A few seconds later, behind him, he heard again the dark cry of the child, then the traditional roar of the cat, followed by the heartrending cry for help asked by Ignacio, Cornelio was still motionless, his desire was to run after the feline, however no matter how hard he tried, his legs did not respond.

He could only do it after listening to two shots of shotguns, Cornelio recovered the mobility of his body, ran out in the direction of the shots, ran as fast as he could on the narrow road, in a moment he found himself facing the yaguareté, stop his march and I expect the worst, however, the yaguareté passed by his side without hurting him, the animal walks slowly down the narrow path leaving behind a sprinkler of blood, a sign that he was wounded.

Cornelius could not believe his good fortune, at another time the yaguareté would not have left him alive, after running and reaching the prairie he spotted a big bulge, the cloud ran to give way to the light of the moon. The clear light of the moon showed Ignacio lying on the ground covered in blood, while a hunter tried to help him, on his left leg, a large tourniquet prevented him from bleeding. The yaguareté attacked Ignacio in the meadow, luckily the hunter returned to his home with some hunting prey and he was able to help the young man, with the first shot that the feline let loose Ignacio and with the second made the animal go into the forest.

The man with the help of Cornelio took Ignacio up on a horse and both went to the house of the nurse of the colony, while the hunter went after the yaguareté, Cornelio gave the coordinates of the address in which the cat went.

The hunter could not find the yaguareté in the direction indicated by Uncle Cornelio, instead he found a huge toad dead, as big as a watering hole, from his mouth came a large piece of meat wrapped with jean cloth, very similar to the fabric of Ignacio's pants.

Ignacio lost his leg and in compensation he won the lady, while Uncle Cornelio began to listen more to his mother, the conquest of women was made during the siesta.

It was never possible to verify if the meat that was inside the mouth of the toad was part of Ignacio's leg and if the cane toad was the yaguareté that attacked the young man. However, I must admit that there were many coincidences with the legend of ¡Capo Sapo!

This is another story that houses the land without evil, something that I live and hear my mother in her childhood, no one can certify that this story is true, as my mother says. There are, there are.
