Description

SPANISH: Tomás Willka, de Oruro (Bolivia), y Julián, de la región de Puno (Perú) son entrevistados por Juan de Dios Yapita. Primero Tomás narra un cuento folklórico (layra parla) que su abuelo (achachila) le conto como una forma de enseñanza. El cuento trata de La Apuesta entre el Monstruo Ave y el Cóndor (Lari larinti Kunturinti). Luego Julián narra el Cuento del Pájaro y la Mujer joven (Jamach’inti mä Tawaqunti). Comenta que este cuento le narró su abuela cuando él era un niño, porque muchas veces en la escuela les pedían llevar tareas con cuentos, y por eso su abuela por las noches durante la cena les narraba estos saberes. Explica que los cuentos para los abuelos eran una forma de educar, instruir y recomendarles para la vida, para mejorar las relaciones entre hermanos, entre familiares y esposos y con la comunidad en general.
