A STORY ABOUT A BOY
2
Once there was a young Inca boy. He had no family
except for an old llama. Each day the boy and his
llama walked many miles, looking for a home. Each
night they slept together. But one starry
evening, the old llama died. The boy buried his
friend next to an icy stream. Then he sat under a
tree and cried. What would he do? He had no
family and no home. The boy cried for a very long
time. But there was no one to comfort him. There
were only the stars in the sky.Suddenly, the sky
filled with bright light. The boy held his
breath. He was afraid to move. One bright star
fell to the ground. Slowly, the star took the
shape of the old llama. She looked at the boy and
smiled. As she jumped back into the sky, bits of
llama wool fell. The boy picked up the soft,
warm wool. It glowed in his hands like starlight.
He carried the wool to the city and sold it.
With the
money, he bought a house. He bought two young
llamas. And he was never lonely again.
