Adam:小时候,我经常去波多黎各的Yauco探亲,我的曾祖父Pepito在那里被大家尊为山之首领。他总是告诉我山是有意识的,而我很快就亲身体验到了这一点。有一次,我害怕曾祖父家附近的一头公牛,但他却用口哨控制了它,还让我骑在它背上。后来,曾祖父去世时,我在回家的路上听到各种动物的哀嚎,这让我感到恐惧。祖母告诉我,动物们能感受到曾祖父的离去。那天晚上,我在悬崖边听到一种可怕的动物叫声,但随后曾祖父的口哨声出现,动物的叫声消失了。我知道是曾祖父的灵魂保护了我,并向我道别,这让我明白死亡并不是终结。

Chapters
A boy recounts his experiences with a horse named Demon, whose behavior suggests an uncanny awareness of human emotions, leading to a discussion about whether animals have a different relationship with the world and an ability to perceive things beyond human comprehension. This segues into the narrator's experiences in Puerto Rico with his great-grandfather and animals.
  • A horse named Demon exhibits unusual behavior, reacting to human emotions.
  • The narrator's childhood experiences with animals in Puerto Rico hint at a deeper connection between humans and animals.
  • The narrator questions whether animals possess a sixth sense or a perception of the world beyond human understanding.

In Yauco, the mountain is alive. It knows you. It is aware of you. And when you pass, it will not let you leave unforgotten.
