Description: One .wav file, with accompanying .eaf annotation file. María Miranda Llergo narrates the story of Nũwẽ Shidi Charu Wai Shidi, an ancient witchdoctor named Ancient Path of Flowers. One day while he is having visions, two spirits come dump water on him as a practical joke. He gets revenge by chasing them with his shaman's smoke through the spirit realm as they attempt to escape him by changing form. This traditional narrative was volunteered by the speaker and performed extemporaneously.
