8、Americans, four Ecuadorians who were showing us the jungle. We were holding cool drinks and idly watching a hand-sized tarantula seize moths that came to the lone bulb on the generator shed beside us. It was February,

14、ould speak with the ring of little girls who were alternately staring at me and smiling at,their toes. I spoke anyway, and fooled with my hair, which they were obviously dying to get their hands on, and laughed, and soon

15、 they were all braiding my hair, all five of them, all fifty fingers, all my hair, even my bangs.,,,,,And then they took it apart and did it again, laughing, and teaching me Spanish nouns, and meeting my eyes and each ot

19、oing somewhere like the Napo River in Ecuador is not to see the most spectacular anything. It is simply to see what is there. We are here on the planet only once, and might as well get a feel for the place. We might as w

21、ssarily lived in detail: on the tributaries, in the riverside villages, sucking this particular white-fleshed guava in this particular pattern of shade. What is there is interesting. The Napo River itself is wide

22、 and brown, opaque, and smeared with floating foam and logs and branches from the jungle. Parrots in flocks dart in and out of the light. Under the water in the river, unseen, are anacondas — which are reputed to take a

24、s. You see these extraordinarily clean people (who bathe twice a day in the river, and whose straight black hair is always freshly washed) paddling down the river in dugout canoes, hugging the banks. Some of the Indian

25、s of this region, earlier in the century, used to sleep naked in hammocks. The nights are cold. Gordon MacCreach, an American explorer in these Amazon tributaries, reported that he was startled to hear the India

26、ns get up at three in the morning.,,D R _ Text 9,He was even more startled, night after night, to hear them walk down to the river slowly, half asleep, and,bathe in the water. Only later did he learn what they were d

28、u are inside the jungle, away from the river, the trees vault out of sight. Butterflies, bright blue, striped, or clear-winged, thread the jungle paths at eye level. And at your feet is a swath of ants bearing triangular

29、 bits of green leaf. The ants with their leaves look like a wide fleet of sailing dinghies — but they don’t quit. In either direction they wobble over the jungle floor as far as the eye can see.,,D R _ Text 11,Long lakes

30、 shine in the jungle. We traveled one of these in dugout canoes, canoes paddled with machete-hewn oars, or poled in the shallows with bamboo. Our part-Indian guide had cleared the path to the lake the day before; when we

31、 walked the path we saw where he had impaled the lopped head of a boa, open-mouthed, on a pointed stick by the canoes, for decoration. This lake was wonderful. Herons plodded the shores, kingfishers and cuckoos clatter

35、paichi, an enormous black fish of these waters; one had been caught the previous week weighing 430 pounds. Piranha fish live in the lakes, and electric eels. I dangled my fingers in the water, figuring it would be worth

36、it. We would eat chicken that night in the village, together with rice, onions and heaps of fruit. The sun would ring down, pulling darkness after it like a curtain. Twilight is short, and the unseen birds of twilight

39、they left their log benches and swarmed around the nuns, hopping, smiling at us, everyone smiling, the nuns’ faces bursting in their cowls, and the clear-voiced children still singing, and the palm-leafed roofing stirred
