A story from Argentina

The call of Lanin

The araucana pigeon puma and returned to the Andean Patagonian forest and told how they lived, they were all listening attentively: coihue, Raulí, oak Pellin, Ñire, mixed with beautiful flowers of all colors: Mutisia, Amancay and Orchids. They could not believe that the seeds of native trees grow so easily, and they had a land called Africa...
Also heard native wild animals as the pudu pudu, huemul, huillin, mara, the armadillo, the great condor and the ostrich. And the alien, brought from distant lands, such as wild boar, red deer, fox, wanted to hear what had the puma and the Pigeon araucana.
Colihue cane suddenly said: "What if we do the same here? If we sow seeds Pehuen?. We know how important forests for life. "
The camera was not so convinced, but agreed, like the cachana, they were talking about more. Then all together, trees, flowers, exotic and native animals, began to plant pine nuts, which are the seeds of pehuen. So happy were they not realize that this year, in June, the Wiñoy Tripantu (new year) had been different... no rain, no life.

Autumn is then presented cold, and most of the wolf spider family had to move or die. Leaves, did not stop the wind swirl.

And the summer... the summer surprised everyone with an unbearable heat. There was so much drought that huillín, who lives on the banks of streams and rivers, and had no ruka (home). The enormous huemul, I had no strength to search the rich grass that he loved and did not have. Could no longer see the forest monkey, jumping from branch to branch. The great condor and master of the heights could not raise his two meter wings. The maras were you want to run. Piches ate the dust of such drought. And the Pehuen seeds were dying ....

No way!" He said the cougar - this did not happen in Africa. They grew the seedlings... what has happened here...!"

Anybody understood anything... the climate, the soil was so changed...
Looking at this time was Pillan, the owner and master of Volcan Lanin, who immediately summoned an camarikun (Mapuche ancestral ceremony), to ask the mapu a little water. For three full days celebrating, offering and asking the Nuque mapu (Mother Earth) and the chao Antu (Father Sun) make it rain so that the seeds of Pehuen (Araucaria) and did not grow more drought.

Then the third night I talk killen (moon) and said "the mapu is threatened, no one hears their murmurs that come and go begging, screaming, do not destroy the Mapu, who let the perch swim in peace, that we kill the oil and gas waste. Woodpeckers that continue to make their homes in large trees and the cauquenes nesting on the banks of rivers. The earth calls for help from you, and make men understand that we are all necessary for the life of Wall Mapu. "

The tribes of animals proposed excited and surprised killen fulfill what had been requested. And it rained heavily for four days and then this could be seen as sticking the first leaves millenary Pehuen. Each animal promised to bring the message to a man and a woman, not destruction and pollution not Wall Mapu (territory), and the importance of each being in this world.
