________________________________
Long, long ago these paces used to be inhabited by giants. Once a giant girl walked about the
forest and she saw a man with six bulls ploughing the soil with a wooden plough in a clearing.
She took the peasant with the bulls and plough and went home to her mother.
“Look, mother. I have found some insects scratching the earth. What could they be?
“My dear, go and put them back where you have taken them from. Let them go in peace and
don’t kill them. When you come back I’ll tell you.” The girl took them back and then went home
to her mother. “Now, mother, tell me what kind of insects were those?” ”That was a man, who
was ploughing the soil with six bulls. In the distant future, men like this one will replace us, and
they will be the masters of the earth, because we’ll die, all of us, and these people will live and
own this land.” On hearing those words she grieved.” What! Such weak creatures come instead
of us,and we’ll vanish? Mother, I’ll go and kill him and his bulls.” “Don’t go. You won’t find him.”
The girl did go. She looked for the man but she couldn’t find him. He had finished his work and
was far away going home through a forest in a valley. The girl was so grieved that a tear fell
down, and where it fell currents of water started. The water was whirling down the valley and
one of the man’s bulls was drowned. In that place where the girl’s tear fell, a spring appeared
and a river began there. It was named the Bîc, for that was how the bull was named. Since then,
the river has been flowing through forests and valleys and has the same name up to now.
