6 Compay Mono told Comay Jicotea what had happened.
7 “You must have fallen asleep,” his comadre told him.
“Tonight let me guard your farm. The thief will probably enter
the southern field this time. I’ll stand guard there so that no
one can steal your ñames.”
8 Compay Mono agreed, and that night while Comay Jicotea
guarded the yams in the southern field, someone stole the boniatos
in the northern field.
9 The next day Compay Mono told the turtle what had
happened. Of course, she was very surprised and sympathetic.
“How could that be?” she said shaking her head. “I never closed
my eyes all night long. This must be a very clever thief.”
sympathetic When you are sympathetic to someone, you are kind and
understanding about his or her situation.
