A full adventure of Sandoval

Puppets created by Fabio Sombra FOREWORD My name, dear friends, is Sandoval. For the last few years I have been working as a wildlife tour leader for a lodge in the wetlands of the Brazilian Pantanal. I show foreign visitors the animals and birds of the region. I respect the environment and my mission, as I see it, is conservation. I have to confess, though, that when I was a lad I used to go hunting. In those days, sad to say, hunting was not illegal. As my experience grew, I gained a reputation as a first-class tracker and even today people remember me for my courage and my skill as a hunter. At the same time I acquired another talent, that of a storyteller. Now some might call me a bluffer, others, less charitably, a liar. But that’s pretty unfair, just a slur by jealous folk who only care for tittle-tattle. To be fair, I may sometimes exaggerate a detail here or there in my stories , but I swear on the Holy Cross that I am not in the fiction business.
