The Ethernal Dance of the Flamingo
THE ETHERNAL DANCE OF THE FLAMINGO
_______________________________________
One night, when all the stars shone with their brightest colors, a small star, attracted by the chanting of crickets and frogs, decided to drop on the Venezuelan coast...
There she remained for hours, quiet and silent, listening to the sweet songs of the night singers.
Little by little, the melodies turned into a lullaby, and the star rested comfortably on a palm tree while fell asleep.
Suddenly, a strong breeze blew her off the tree, and she fell into the lagoon...
That's when the moon realized her absence and went to look for it...
Desperately, the moon searched for hour of no avail...
Nothing that the night was ending, she awoke the sun, asking for help...
The sun searched all the beaches, all day long, but couldn't find the missing star either...
The following night, the moon continued her search.
And it was then when the crickets, with their unending whisper, told the moon that they had seen the star fall into the lagoon...
The night immediately started to call all the animals for help to find the star...
Early in the morning, sea gulls flew in great numbers over the lagoon to see if they could find the missing star, but they could not look through the water onto the bottom of the lagoon.
Pelicans with their huge bills dived into the waters, but they could not reach the bottom of the lagoon...
The animals became desperate because they were not able to help.
However, the swallows remembered seeing these beautiful birds on their trips around the world…
These bird’s plumage
Was of fine pink color, they had long necks and long legs, ideally suited for the search of the star…
Flying swiftly, the swallows took off to find the flamingos.
Soon, they returned with large numbers of flamingos. They immediately started their magic dance, while sticking their heads into the water and searching every corner of the lagoon…
One flamingo found the star, and very carefully took her under his wings and returned the little star to the sky…
The star, all exited, told the other stars how beautiful were Venezuelan coasts, how enchanting the song of the crickets and frogs were, and how warm the water of the lagoon was…
Since that day, thousands of stars drop at night on Venezuelan coasts to enjoy the beauty…
And each morning, very early, thousands of flamingos come from far away, to pick up those star that have fallen asleep in the lagoons…
And in the afternoons, when the sun starts to disappear, all flamingos take off and fly high to place the stars in the sky…
By Jose Luis Jimenez, from Tales of a shaman. 1983
