And so it was that on a very hot day, Ichiaí came up with the idea to create mosquitoes. No one knows where this idea came from or why he had it, but suddenly, those tiny insects began buzzing around him with their peculiar hum. The noise annoyed Ichiaí, so he used his magic to quickly trap them inside a tapara. Since he didn’t know what use those little bugs could have, he did what he always did—he went to show them to Kumañí. Upon hearing that noise, she said:
―They don’t please me. Not at all! These bugs will bring discomfort and disease to the people. You’d better take them far away, very far, to the other side of the sea, where they belong.
As he made his way, the buzzing from the tapara caught the attention of a young Pumé who was watching him.
―What are you carrying in that tapara?
―asked the young man, stepping closer to hear better.
―Nothing. Just some coals I took from the fire to throw away,
―replied Ichiaí, not taking his eyes off the young man’s large teeth. The young man immediately responded:
―That doesn’t sound like coals! I’d like to know what’s making that strange noise. I want to see what you’ve got in there!
