- Description: One .wav file, with accompanying .eaf annotation file. María Miranda Llergo narrates the story of Ĩsũ wake widi, where a spider monkey abducts a child. Years later the father finds his son, but it turns out that his son does not wish to return home permanently, as he has his own wife and family among the monkeys. He teaches his father how to put medicine in his eyes so he can see the monkeys' tree as a human village when he visits. This traditional narrative was volunteered by the speaker and performed extemporaneously.
