The Frog and the Condor
A peruvian tale
High in the Andes Mountains thereonce lived a frog in a cool stream.
This poor frog was born not like the others - herfront right leg was nearly twice as long as her leftone. "If only I had two perfect legs like mybrothers and sisters," the frog bemoanedwhenever she caught her limping reflection in therushing waters
Near the stream, and feeling just as sad as the frog, lived agirl in the cave of a condor, a huge black vulture. She wasforced to remain at his nest in a faraway cave on a rockymountain outcrop. The giant black bird had plucked herfrom her happy livelihood as a shepherdess and carried herback to its nest, where she had to work hard every day,beating his vicuna skins into blankets for his bed and intorugs for his nest, and preparing huge meals to satisfy hisvoracious appetite.
The frog overhead the conversation between the condor and the girl
"So - did you beat the new vicuna skins to add to my bed?"
"Yes, sir."
"And where is my dinner?"
"It's ready for you, sir. Now please, may I go to the stream to wash my clothes?"
"Absolutely not! Do you take me for a fool? You would try to escape!"
"No I wouldn't - please - I simply must wash my clothes. And besides, as long as you hear me beating my clothes on the rocks, you'll know I'm still there."
"Hmm, very well then, but be sure I hear you beating your clothes or I'll fly there in a second and beat you myself!"
So the girl, whose parents had named her Collyur, which means Morning Star, wrapped herself in one of the vicuna skins and tied her clothes into a bundle that she carried to the stream.
As Collyur beat her clothes against the rocks, she cried bitterly for her lost freedom. She was nothingbut a slave, tending to the condor's every demand, while fearing every moment for her very life. Witheach beat of her clothes she burst out with another wail.
"Please don't cry," said a small voice. Collyur looked down to see a little frog on a rock,looking at her with sympathy. "What is the matter?" And the girl poured out her troubles to the frogwhile the creature listened and sighed.
