The Llama and the Flood — Andes & Southern Cone (Lesser-Known) | Bedtime World Tour
Tonight we travel high into the Andes of Peru, to a manuscript written in Quechua four hundred years ago by someone who never signed it. A man takes his llama to the best grass on the mountain and the llama will not eat. When he flicks a corncob at it to make it move, the llama turns its head and tells him the sea is going to rise in five days. What he says next is the reason this is his story and not somebody else's: he asks the animal what they should do.
