The Amazon is called the treasure trove of mankind.
It has the most abundant water, trees, and fresh air in the world.
And it is a treasure trove of ecosystems, and also a treasure trove of imagination.
However, the Amazon has been neglected and neglected for some time, and the river and jungle are suffering.
This sorrow is overcome when Robinson travels through the Amazon, experiencing its mystery and natural wonders, and coming to the realization that the Amazon must be managed and preserved, leading to a reverence for nature.

'I came to find Pukina.'

'Pookie? The mysterious herb?'

'that's right.
I was wondering if that could cure the illnesses of our tribesmen...
But I don't know where to find that herb I've only heard of in legends.'

'What on earth is wrong with you?'

Instead of answering, Mujafne took out a short wooden pipe and asked.
Then, after exhaling smoke as if in a sigh, he began to tell of the tragedy that had befallen the Yanomami tribe.

'That damned disease first appeared about ten years ago.
At first, the fish living in the river died en masse and floated to the surface of the water, and soon after, the birds and animals that lived on the fish suddenly went crazy and started running wild and jumping into the river.
At that time, I thought it was just a disease of beasts...
In the end, even people ended up getting hurt.'

thud-.

Suddenly something heavy hit the bottom of the canoe hard.
The canoe rocked violently as if it were about to capsize, and Robinson screamed and clung to the side.
In an instant, he saw a huge fish swimming with its tail swishing.
It was a huge creature, probably about 3 meters long.
As Robinson swallowed hard and was about to say something, Makunaima shouted first.


'It's Pirakuru!'

'What? What is that?'

'Pirakuru.
It's the largest fish in the Amazon.
That guy hit the canoe.
Whoa, that was almost a disaster.' Thud-.

Wow, that was a close call.'

Purify the mother's blood.
Make your mother's flesh fat.
Cool down your mother's heart.
All children are born from their mothers, live in their mothers' arms, and return to the place of their birth. So, those who harm their mothers' health will have no place to return.
Cherish nature.
It is not something we inherit from our ancestors, but something we borrow from our descendants.

After finishing reading, Robinson smiled broadly and reread the words as if he were translating them.

'Make the river clear.
Make the earth fertile.
Cool the forest.
All humans are born from the earth, live on the earth, and return to the earth. Those who destroy the natural order will have no place to return to...' Purify the mother's blood.

The Legend of the Amazon
Long ago, in a state of chaos where there was no heaven or earth and everything was united as one, Uranus, the god of the sky, and Gaia, the goddess of the earth, were born.
Gaia, the grandmother of Zeus, the king of the gods, personally created a tribe of brave female warriors to impart the wisdom of the gods to humans.
The name of that tribe was Amazon.


The Amazon warrior women held a festival once a year, inviting men from neighboring tribes to join them and have children with them.
If the baby was a boy, he was immediately sent back to his father, and if it was a girl, he was raised to be a brave warrior.
And to prevent them from getting in the way when shooting arrows, the children's right breasts were cut off in advance.

It was then that I noticed fish floating on the water.
Fish as big as my arm were floating down the water, lying on their backs as if they were swimming.
From afar, Makunaima's loud voice could be heard urging him on.

"Don't just look, take it quickly."

Robinson jumped into the river in a panic.
But the fish were so slippery that only five or six were properly caught.


"You fool, can't you even eat the bread that's given to you?"

Makunaima scolded Robinson with a puffy face.
Wow, I had a good time catching them on the deserted island… .
After resting for a year, it seems like my senses have deteriorated a lot.


“But… how did you catch it?”

Even in the midst of his embarrassment, Robinson couldn't overcome his curiosity and asked.

"Barbasco."

"What nose?"

"It's Barbasco.
"That's the name of this grass."

Makunaima pointed to the grass in the basket with his hand.

"This is an anesthetic.
If you crush this grass, squeeze out the juice, and let it flow down the river, the fainted fish will float up like before.
"If you block the water in a narrow stream and release it, it becomes half water and half fish."

"Wow~ That's amazing."

Makunaima grilled the fish to an appetizing finish.
Robinson chewed the fish at a furious pace.
It was to eat at least one more than Makunaima.

The first people to use rubber were the Indians of Central and South America.
In 1493, Columbus discovered children playing with a black, round object on the island of Haiti in the New World.
The name of that amazing elastic body that falls to the ground and then bounces back to its original height is 'Pele'.
It means rubber ball in the Indian language (the name of soccer emperor Pele also has the same meaning; Pele is not his real name but a nickname given by fans).

The Indians knew that mixing a little rubber with wet wood would make it easier to catch fire.
I also knew that if you filled the cracks in a canoe with rubber, it would not leak.
Whether it was waterproofing roofs, making pottery, or making boots, rubber was an essential material.
Some Indians soaked their feet in rubber solution, took them out, dried them, and then wore them like shoes. These shoes were the world's first rubber shoes.
