CHAPTER I

Era una mañana sin nubes, en que la Naturaleza, sonriendo de felicidad, alzaba el himno de adoración al Autor de su belleza.

El corazón, tranquilo como el nido de una paloma, se entregaba a la contemplación del magnífico cuadro.

La plaza única del pueblo de Kíllac mide trescientos catorce metros cuadrados, y el caserío se destaca confundiendo la techumbre de teja colorada, cocida al horno, y la simplemente de paja con alares de palo sin labrar, marcando el distintivo de los habitantes y particularizando el nombre de casa para los notables y choza para los naturales.

It was a cloudless morning, in which Nature, smiling with happiness, raised the hymn of adoration to the Author of her beauty.

The heart, calm as a pigeon's nest, surrendered to the contemplation of the magnificent painting.

The unique square of the town of Kíllac measures three hundred and fourteen square meters, and the hamlet stands out by confusing the roof of red tile, baked, and simply that of straw with unworked wooden wings, marking the distinctive of the inhabitants and particularizing the name of house for the notables and hut for the natives.

It was a cloudless morning as Nature, beaming with joy, lifted the hymn of compliment to its beauty's author.

As quiet as a pigeon's nest, the heart gave itself to contemplating the magnificent picture.

The single town square of Kíllac measures three hundred and fourteen square meters. The hamlet stands out due to the distinct roof structure of its inhabitants. The homes of notables feature red tile roofs heated in ovens, while the native houses are simply made of straw with unworked wooden supports called shacks.

En la acera izquierda se alza la habitación común del cristiano, el templo, rodeado de cercos de piedra, y en el vetusto campanario de adobes, donde el bronce llora por los que mueren y ríe por los que nacen, anidan también las tortolillas cenicientas de ojos de rubí, conocidas con el gracioso nombre de cullcu. El cementerio de la iglesia es el lugar donde los domingos se conoce a todos los habitantes, solícitos concurrentes a la misa parroquial, y allí se miente y se murmura de la vida del prójimo como en el tenducho y en la era, donde se trilla la cosecha en medio de la algazara y el copeo.

On the left sidewalk stands the common room of the Christian, the temple, surrounded by stone fences, and in the ancient adobe bell tower, where bronze weeps for those who die and laughs for those who are born, there are also the ruby-eyed ashen lovebirds, known by the funny name of cullcu. The church cemetery is the place where on Sundays all the inhabitants are known, solicitous attendants of the parish mass, and there they lie and murmur about the life of their neighbor as in the tenducho and in the era, where the harvest is threshed in the middle of the algazara and the copeo.

On the left sidewalk lies the Christian community space, the temple enclosed by stone walls, the old adobe bell tower, and the bronze lament for the deceased and welcome new arrivals. Here, ruby-eyed ashy wood pigeons nest, known as cullcu peculiarly. The church cemetery is the place where all the inhabitants gather every Sunday; diligent people who attend parish mass engage in misleading conversations and gossip about the daily routine of their neighbors, like in the poky little shop and on the threshing floor, separating the harvest amidst the noise and the drunkenness.

CHAPTER VI

No empleó mucho tiempo ni tuvo mayores trabajos Estéfano Benites para encontrar a los alguaciles de vara y servicio; y en el momento fue con su gente a la choza de Isidro Champí, quien se estaba despidiendo de su familia porque debía ir a la torre y estar listo para el toque del avemaría, que se da con la campana grande al cerrar la tarde.

It did not take him much time nor did Estéfano Benites have major jobs to find the sheriffs of rod and service; and at the time he went with his people to the hut of Isidro Champí, who was saying goodbye to his family because he had to go to the tower and be ready for the ringing of the Ave Maria, which is given with the big bell at the end of the afternoon.

Estéfano Benites quickly located the bailiff of rod and service without much difficulty. He then proceeded with his companions to Isidro Champí's shack. Isidro was bidding farewell to his family as he prepared to head to the tower to be present for the announcement of the Hail Mary, signaled by the resounding chime of the large bell in the late afternoon.

Isidro Champí, conocido con el sobrenombre de Tapara, era un hombre alto, fornido y ágil, con cuarenta años de edad, una mujer y siete hijos, de los que cinco eran varones y dos mujeres.

Isidro Champí, known by the nickname of Tapara, was a tall, stocky and agile man, forty years old, a woman and seven children, of whom five were men and two women.

Isidro Champí, nicknamed Tapara, who is described as a tall, stout, and nimble 40-year-man with a wife and seven children—five boys and two girls.

Aquella tarde vestía su único terno de ropa, formado de pantalón negro con campachos colorados, chaleco y camiseta grana, y chaqueta verde claro. Su larga y espesa cabellera caía sobre la espalda sujeta en una trenza cuyo remate estaba hecho de cintilla tejida de hilo de vicuña, y su cabeza cubierta por la graciosa monterilla andaluza traída por los conquistadores y conservada en uso por la afición que existe entre los indios a los vestidos de fantasía y de colores vivos.

That afternoon he wore his only suit of clothes, consisting of black trousers with red peaks, a vest and a grana t-shirt, and a light green jacket. His long and thick hair fell on his back held in a braid whose finishing was made of ribbon woven of vicuña thread, and his head covered by the graceful Andalusian mound brought by the conquerors and preserved in use by the hobby that exists among the Indians to fancy dresses and bright colors.

That afternoon, Isidro wore his sole suit: black pants with red flares, a claret vest and a T-shirt, and a light green jacket. His long, thick hair cascaded down his back, secured in a braid fastened with a ribbon crafted from vicuna thread. He was also dressed in the distinctive monterilla andaluza, a hat adorned with peacock feathers and jungle birds. The hat was originally introduced by the conquerors and continued to be worn due to the fascination among the indigenous people for decorative garments and vivid hues.
