They came with their guns to shoot at the wild boars. They missed the mark. I died. Oh, the funeral was great, friends! All the women cried and sang in Latin songs for my bones. Thank you so much. And now, I spend the day inside my grave over the mountain. Now, I rest in peace inside my grave over the mountain. In the summer it’s so hot here! When you came in August I was surprised to see you and afraid too. You were crawling by the churchyard looking for a place to stay and to eat your big prey, not to praise God. And me, I felt disgusted inside my grave over the mountain. I had enough of the worms inside my grave over the mountain. It’s not so easy to live by your side during the night, you make strange NOISES. Oh, my funny Basiliscus sweet and comic and bloodcurdling you make me smile with my dead and frozen heart. We spend the day inside my grave over the mountain. Now, we rest in peace inside my grave over the mountain. It’s not unpleasant to live by your side. During the night, you are with me.
