La leyenda del Hombre Caimán proviene de la región del río Magdalena, especialmente en el pueblo de Plato, Magdalena. La historia cuenta que un hombre llamado Saúl Solarte, muy curioso y coqueto, tenía la costumbre de espiar a las mujeres cuando se bañaban en el río. Para hacerlo sin ser visto, fue a donde un brujo, quien le dio una poción que lo convertía en caimán durante el día, para poder nadar y espiar sin levantar sospechas.

Al principio, Saúl lograba volver a su forma humana cada vez que lo deseaba, pero un día, el hechizo falló. Se quedó atrapado en el cuerpo de un caimán, conservando solo su cabeza humana. Desde entonces, el Hombre Caimán ha vivido en el río, ocultándose entre los animales y esperando una cura que le permita volver a ser humano.

Las mujeres del pueblo tienen mucho cuidado al acercarse al río, por miedo a que el Hombre Caimán las ataque o las persiga. Se dice que por las noches, su lamento puede oírse desde las orillas del río, arrepentido por su curiosidad y mal comportamiento.

The Youth in Asia
"THAT'S IT," MY MOTHER SAID AFTER HAVING SADIE PUT TO SLEEP. "MY CAT DAYS ARE OVER."

In the early sixties, during what my mother referred to as the "tail end of the Lassie years," my parents were given two collies they named Rastus and Duchess. We were living in upstate New York, out in the country, and the dogs were free to race through the forest. They napped in meadows and stood knee-deep in frigid streams, costars in their own private dog-food commercial. According to our father, anyone could tell that the two of them were in love.

Late one evening, while lying on a blanket in the garage, Duchess gave birth to a litter of slick, potato-sized puppies. When it looked as though one of them had died, our mother placed the creature in a casserole dish and popped it into the oven, like the witch in "Hänsel and Gretel."

"Oh, keep your shirts on," she said. "It's only set on 200. I'm not baking anyone; this is just to keep him warm."

The heat revived the sick puppy and left us believing our mother was capable of resurrecting the dead.

Faced with the responsibilities of fatherhood, Rastus took off. The puppies were given away, and we moved south, where the heat and humidity worked against a collie's best interests. Duchess's once beautiful coat now hung in ragged patches. Age set in and she limped about the house, clearing rooms with her suffocating farts. When finally, full of worms, she collapsed in the ravine beside our house, we reevaluated our mother's healing powers. The entire animal kingdom was beyond her scope; apparently, she could resurrect only the cute dead.

The oven trick was performed on half a dozen peakish hamsters but failed to work on my first guinea pig, who died after eating a couple of cigarettes and an entire pack of matches.
