The crybaby
In the late hours of the night, when everything seems asleep and only the rude
shouts with which the herdsmen enliven the slow march of their animals are Heard,
the peasants say that there, by the river, moving closer and
further away at intervals, stopping at the cool pools that serve
as water for nearby oxen and horses, a plaintive voice calls
the attention of travelers.
It is a sobbing woman's voice, who wanders along the banks
of the river looking for something that she has lost and will
never find. It terrifies the children who have heard, told by the
withered lips of their grandmother, the touching story of that
woman who lives in the pastures, interrupting the silence of
the night with her eternal moan.
She was a poor peasant girl whose adolescent had slipped into the midst of the
tranquility listening with pleasure to the little birds that were swinging happily on the
branches of the fig trees. Abandoned her bed when the rooster's crowing
announced the dawn, and she went towards the river to fetch water with her clay
jars, waking up, as she passed, the cows that were resting on the road.
He was happy loving nature; But once she arrived at the patron's family hacienda
in the summer season, the beautiful peasant girl was able to observe the luxury
and coquetry of the young ladies who came from San Jose. He made the
comparison between the charms of those women and his own; he saw that his
body was as swaying as theirs, that they had a pretty face, a disturbing smile, and
he dedicated himself to imitating them.
As she was hard-working, the employer took her into her service and brought her
to the capital where, shortly after, she was corrupted by her companions and the
great vices that are found in the capitals, and the degree of licentiousness in which
they are absorbed by the metropolises. She was seduced by a young man of those
who in the halls are in tune with their culture and who often wake up completely
drunk in the houses of tolerance. When she felt that she was going to be a mother,
she withdrew from the capital and returned to her parents' house. Hidden from her
family, she gave birth to a beautiful girl that she immediately threw to the place
where the river was deepest, in a moment of incapacity and fear of facing a parent
or a society that acted in this way. Later she went crazy and according to the
peasants, repentance now makes her wander along the banks of the streams
always looking for the corpse of her daughter that she will never find again.
From then on, the traveler on the river bank hears, when in a quiet night he
crosses the forest, complaining, heartbreaking and terrible birds that paralyze the

blood. She is the crybaby who is looking for her daughter.
