Luego que el abuelo terminó de cortar algo de pasto para las vacas nos dirigirnos a llevárselo y seguir el camino hasta donde la vaca falleció.
Nos contó que la encontró alli muerta y le faltaba pocos días para parir. Es decir que estaba preñada. Y ciertamente encontrarnos huesos tanto del becerro como de la madre.
Es como una quebrada quizás se enredó y no pudo salir o la picó una culebra.
Recogimos la mayoría de los huesos ya que el esternón no lo encontramos. Y los guardamos en dos sacos.
De vuelta al bohio me tomé otra taza de café y un plato de caraota que preparó el abuelo con arepa y aguacate.
English Version
After Grandpa finished cutting some grass for the cows, we went to take it to him and continued down the path to where the cow had died.
He told us he found her there, dead, and that she was just a few days away from giving birth. In other words, she was pregnant. And sure enough, we found the bones of both the calf and the mother.
It’s like a ravine—maybe she got tangled up and couldn’t get out, or maybe a snake bit her.
We collected most of the bones, though we couldn’t find the sternum. We put them in two sacks.
Back at the hut, I had another cup of coffee and a plate of beans that Grandpa had prepared with an arepa and avocado.
