From the book
«There was once a very committed hunter. Among his community he was widely respected for his skill with weapons.»
«One day he spotted a lone llama on the hillside. «How can this be? Llamas live with owners…» the hunter wondered.»
«Perhaps she’s lost… or could she be a guanaco or a vicuña? Only then would her freedom be justified… a free llama…»
