  • Description: The speaker tells a story about Squirrel, which she wrote and is reading aloud from. The plot centers around Squirrel's trickster activities: he convinces Jaguar to crush his testicle by telling him that it will do know harm, as evidenced by the fact that Squirrel has been crushing his own testicle. In reality Squirrel has been crushing "keta" fruit, but Jaguar does not know the difference.
