The Legend of the Duhendes
-
Many years ago, there were some little people who lived in the jungles
of Guam. They
-
enjoyed playing tricks on people, especially children and very young babies.
-
If the very young children or older children entered the jungles,
the Duhendes would
-
put a curse on them.
-
One such curse made a child unable to talk until the curse was broken.
-
Another trick was to cover the child with a banana leaf so he would become
very tiny.
-
The only cure for these curses was to spank the child with an old lady's
blessing belt.
-
The children of Guam believe that the Duhendes still roam the jungles.
The youngsters
-
will not stray from their homes until they have grown up.
-
So, beware! If you should wander into the jungles of Guam, you may have
the curse
-
of the Duhendes put on YOU!
