1
Deep in the Amazon rainforest in the river Nea’ocoyá, lived, according to Siekopai legend, a school of particularly big and tasty fish.
2
When the rains came and the water rose, the fish appeared, swimming away as the waters fell again.
3
The villagers along the river reveled in this occasional bounty— and wanted more.
4
They followed them upriver deep into the jungle to a lagoon that thundered with the sound of flapping fish.
5
The whole village set up camp by the lagoon, bringing barbasco, a poison they would put in the water to stun the fish.
6
Meanwhile, their young shaman took a walk.
7
He sensed he might not be completely alone.
8
Then, he came to a monse tree humming so loudly he could hear it even above the thunder of the fish.
9
With that, he was sure: spirits lived here.
10
Back at camp, he warned his people these fish had an owner.
11
He would find the owner.
12
Until he returned, no one should fish.
13
He went to the humming tree.
14
Inside was a hollow as big as a house, full of busy weavers.
15
Their chief invited him in, explaining that the juicy little siripia fruits were ripening, and they were weaving baskets to collect them.
16
Though they looked and acted like people, the shaman knew they were juri, or air goblins, who could fly and control the winds.
17
They taught him how to weave.
18
Before the shaman left, the goblin chief whispered some cryptic instructions in his ear.
19
Finally, he told him to tie a pineapple shoot outside a hollow log and sleep inside that night.
20
Back at camp, the villagers were fishing with barbasco poison, cooking, and eating.
21
Only the shaman’s little sister refrained.
22
Then, everyone else fell into a deep sleep.
23
The shaman and his sister yelled and shook them, but they wouldn’t wake.
24
It was getting dark, so the shaman and his sister tied the pineapple sprout outside the hollow log and crawled inside.
25
A strong wind rose— the mark of the air goblins.
26
It broke branches and brought down trees.
27
Caymans, boas and jaguars roared.
28
The water began to rise.
29
The fish flopped off the drying racks and swam away.
30
The pineapple sprout turned into a dog.
31
All night it barked, keeping the jungle creatures away from the fallen tree.
32
When dawn broke, the flood receded.
33
The fish were gone, and most of the people were, too: the jungle animals had devoured them.
34
Only the shaman’s relatives survived.
35
When his family turned toward him, the shaman realized what the goblins meant when they said the fruits were ripening: they weren’t really collecting siripia fruits at all, but human eyes.
36
The shaman’s older sister called him over, trying to touch his face with her long, sharp nails.
37
He backed away and, remembering the goblin chief’s instructions, threw palm seeds at her face.
38
The seeds became eyes.
39
But then she transformed into a white-lipped peccary and ran away— still alive, but no longer human.
40
The shaman and his little sister’s whole community was gone.
41
They went to live with another village, where he taught everyone to weave baskets, as the air goblins had taught him.
42
But he couldn’t forget the last of the goblin chief’s words, which told him how to get revenge.
43
He returned to the air goblins’ home carrying chili peppers wrapped in leaves.
44
As the goblins watched through their peepholes, the shaman made a fire and put the chili peppers on it.
45
The fire began to smoke the tree out.
46
The goblins who had eaten people’s eyes died.
47
Those who hadn’t were light enough to fly away.
48
So the goblins, like the humans, paid a steep price.
49
But they also lived to tell the tale, like the shaman.
50
In Siekopai legend, where the spirit and human worlds meet, there are no clear victors, and even death is an opportunity for renewal.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
