Today I saw a caiucco with three children, the oar of this canoe carved from a single trunk of a giant tree, there was a child Kuna who must have been 6 or 7 years, rowed with great skill and this led surgically caiucco ten times bigger than him. A little farther on, another girl sat composed a couple of years younger, and there was also a third child who has had two years to exaggerate. The two year old child was sleeping with no care in the world, including the one conducted by the caiucco brother could topple him and finish nowhere. Well, actually none of the others seemed worried, nor should obviously be their parents, on the ground somewhere to gather coconuts, or sewing molas, or maybe fish, or sleep in the hammock. The
caiucco has approached, I have sports and child, all contrite, I brought a small bag made of palm leaves, hand woven, exquisitely made, which contained a mobile phone. I explained that I could take the little bag, and by chance I could recharge my cell phone?
Yeah, Kuna huts with no electricity.
I held the little bag is a wonderful object. I put the phone in office, I gave them a candy (already discarded for fear that throwing the map into the sea) and I watched them paddling away.
Nobody ate the candy, held tight in his hand without even giving a lick.
Later, down on the island, we went to the hut Kuna. It 'made of branches, palm leaves and bamboo, the floor is dirt, there is nothing inside except a few suspended hammock and a fireplace on the ground, on which the fish smoked slowly over coals for coconut be then be stored in a basket. There is no other, the Kuna do not have anything. We approached, big smiles of children, the grandmother, in a corner, dressed and dressed up with local custom, a gold ring on the nose, a long black mark traditional hairline to the tip of the long nose, spoke .
talking on the phone.
I'm not sure what moral to draw from this story, I really do not even know if there is a moral, each draws its, me, I know, I have to mull over a bit more '
