## Transcript

[0:13] He' s a little free here. The story' s coming up now.
[0:17] The little agor room is the mayor' s cane, the mayor'
[0:21] s cane birds, quint hear it and Liberto. This is what I'
[0:40] m gonna talk about now. It happened a few years ago, man,
[0:44] and you know where. There' s a man, a pretty little valley
[0:48] in the apartment of Bacchus. The mayor of that time was Don Crisanto Rojo,
[0:54] an old white hair, distinguished, well stretched, challenging, always used
[1:00] to walk with his cane, his hat and his vest. At that time,
[1:07] all mayors used cane man, ah but Don Crisanto' s cane was
[1:11] something exceptional. Liberty, the eye to help as was the cane, the
[1:17] knob of the cane was a golden ball and Don Crisanto worshipped his cane because,
[1:23] as he said and had been inherited from generation to generation, the cane
[1:30] had belonged to his great- great- grandfather. First good, because the
[1:41] case is that Don Crisanto, the mayor, was quite a show in the
[1:45] village of men kamoap. When I went down the street, the people were
[1:49] amazed by the presence of that gentleman goodbye Doña Filomena Greetings, and in conversations
[2:10] with his friends, Griberto, Don Crisanto spoke and always brought up the theme
[2:16] of the cane, because this my cane belonged to the very illustrious Don Crisanto
[2:28] Rojas and Orochena and Montes de Oca of the Spanish lineage. Apparently, the
[2:38] cane belonged to a brother of Napoleon. In all of Nicaragua and perhaps in
[2:46] Central America, there is no one who possesses a cane as elegant and with
[2:53] as much history as this. What to tell me for this, in the
[3:05] villages there are always nice people, man and gift chrysanto, because it was
[3:10] an example pre Also in the villages, because there are people of a curious
[3:16] genting treep, the typical characters of a people, man, popular characters,
[3:21] as they tell them. One of these characters was Ben Bnuto, Benavid,
[3:25] brother of the Glory, the fool of the people you are free, the
[3:30] dund of that place, I doubt that in reality, because he was the
[3:36] most alive of all you heard always spoke hastily as mad and all the pantidence
[3:43] and occurrence of that they were in camapas, because they were things of the
[3:46] man starred by him. His job, as it was to sell curds in
[3:51] the streets of the town, which four workers are going to want to beat
[4:01] the march of the block or rar well, because I already painted them well
[4:23] the atmosphere of the characters of the Kamapa of then true look the mayor the
[4:30] dum or, better said the alive, because also in the town there was
[4:34] a priest, a barber, a tailor and a blacksmith. Yeah, what?
[4:40] The fact is that one day, the routine quietness of that place was
[4:44] interrupted by the news that alarmed everyone They already climbed up when the crowd screamed
[4:53] all over the street. He missed his cane. Or is that what it
[5:00] is. The mayor' s cane was lost, and it was weighed.
[5:04] And now that cane belongs to Napoleon Bonaparte, it has a golden handle.
[5:12] He gave his touch to Doña Ochepina and Juan mayor is crazy and imagine that
[5:17] he is missing mandre and walks with two cops chasing the suspects. My cane,
[5:30] my cane, my golden grip, my cane inherited from my ancestors,
[5:35] my cane. Where it is, who has it, who is calm,
[5:42] be calm, Don Cris, be calm. And this town doesn' t
[5:46] miss anything, like nothing is lost towards last night they stole it from my
[5:49] house. I' m sure I hear noises in the Tapian. I'
[5:54] m sure burglars broke into my house last night. Well, well, I
[5:58] recommend you calm down, sir So it' s very easy to say yes,
[6:02] but come on. Come on, let' s find out for the
[6:06] moment, let' s go to the mayor' s office, let'
[6:14] s get a permanent side published and offer a good gratification. How about the
[6:15] good, okay, okay, let' s write that side. I offer
[6:20] 200 pesos to whoever returns my cane and I can offer anything, anything to
[6:27] whom I inform about the whereabouts of my cane and friends. The case is
[6:38] that the loss of the cane of the mayor was the news of the vis
[6:44] Yes, the news that was repeated in all the counties for several days until
[6:48] in the neighboring valleys. An event broke out and many people were interested in
[6:53] finding out the whereabouts of the cane to earn the reward given by the reach.
[7:04] What public knowledge is like or a valuable cane, Mr Mayor' s
[7:14] cane, has been lost. Don Crisanto. It is known that thieves entered
[7:19] his room house, stealing the coveted Baton, which has gold knob and which
[7:29] belonged to a brother of Napoleon, Rignon b of Napoleon and which Napoleon.
[7:42] Not even the last name says Napoleon Lopez is not Brutus, Bendenuto Napoleon.
[7:50] Much of it is a new neighbour, for what report about the whereabouts of
[8:00] Batón will receive a good gratification. Any report must be addressed to the Mayor
[8:11] of Camuapa. Any pesta you have can lead to the clarification of the theft.
[8:20] Therefore, it is necessary to collaborate with the authorities, the repons And
[8:52] well it happens that the Tandugo bread is in the last corners of Kamaapo and
[8:58] Liberto They heard what the bandit said and Benvenuto Benavides bandit also heard. Yeah,
[9:05] he heard the side and he had his iron. The next day,
[9:11] your Mr Mayor' s evening, man asks for you, a man says
[9:20] he knows who' s got the cane. How to make it happen immediately,
[9:33] immediately how it was about 6: 30 in the afternoon. The night
[9:37] was already falling to my things. Neither the mayor nor his assistant recognized who
[9:41] he was claiming to have a lead on the whereabouts of the cane. It
[9:46] was nothing more and nothing less than Venuto Benavides to me who advanced to the
[9:52] mayor. You say you know where my cane is, my cane. Gold
[9:58] pommel. I didn' t say what I know, where it' s
[10:01] okay, so why do I know who stole it, who stole it?
[10:07] Tell me then a moment Yes, a moment I know who stole the cane,
[10:16] but I have some conditions. What' s going to set them conditions,
[10:20] I don' t want to say any gratification. That' s what
[10:28] happens to them. I' m not being gay. Let' s just

[10:41] to tell you who stole the cane. Well, well, don' t
[10:46] tell yourself what your conditions are. But talk once and for all. Well,
[10:50] you all look crazy. First, they' re going to build a
[11:01] stage first, and on the stage stand, I' m going to send
[11:09] my new shoes, a change, a new hat, and gather all the
[11:15] people in town, all the people. So, people, when everyone is
[11:16] gathered, you' re going to ask me in front of everyone who wants
[11:22] to steal the cane. I' ll answer him Come on. Okay?
[11:28] Okay? Okay? Well, I mean, you know, people, it
[11:31] feels like that moaned for a moment. We all set it up. Eduardo,
[11:35] Eduardo Mira Correa. He improvises a platform in the atrium of the church
[11:43] and walks where my compadre Esteban sends me a change like for this man more
[11:48] or less sees the measure again, a new hat and a pair of shoes
[11:52] of the best. Boss kiss. Yeah, yeah, come on, light,
[11:58] but light it comes from my cane, nothing less than my cane.
[12:03] And there was never seen in the village that bouliberto greatest activity you saw.
[12:16] Not even when the candidates became propaganda. There was so much bully and activity
[12:22] throughout the town. Kama men, a platform was improvised with a table and
[12:26] some boards to the man who was given the new and new and big murada
[12:31] shoes because it was duck and new hats. And so, the dundo nuto
[12:35] unknowable sale was presented that night. Before all the attendance, everyone was waiting
[12:50] for my thing. It was like, like, eight o' clock at
[12:54] night. The streets of the village were dark, dark. Some people shone
[12:58] light on how much I became convinced of Quín Naiden. He stood on the
[13:03] platform or at the grandstand. The mayor of lying spoke to what you have
[13:11] that now I' m going to see what. Gentlemen, please, a
[13:18] little attention. This man has promised to tell me who stole my cane.
[13:30] Got it. If this is I give and from now on I tell you

[15:13] ask. I lied. Of course, you' ve lied about the truth,
[15:20] Mayor. I didn' t tell him the truth or anything, Alfredo,
[15:24] who has the baton, because the thief already understands the bacchan. He
