We are both in love and we are going to get married.” Although she was a simple and shy girl, she replied bravely to her father, with the force of a woman in love, “I am in love with a fisherman. They spent the night together, in a passionate embrace, making love the entire night.įrom that night forward, they met every evening at sunset, and spent the night together under the shining stars and in the secrecy of the dark night, making love.įinally, her father confronted her about where she was at night. Rosita whispered to the stranger, “Who are you and where are you from?” The man replied, “I am a fisherman from the river,” all the while maintaining eye contact with her. Her feet moved in small, constant steps, pulling her towards the man whose magnetism she could not resist and whose enchantment forced her to fall into his arms, kissing him. Spontaneously, as if controlled by a sinister force, she stood up from the water exposing her naked body, and walked towards him. She became embarrassed when she saw he was not averting his eyes but looking into her eyes as if they knew each other. A young man standing on the muddy bank smiled and stared brazenly at her naked body.
Suddenly, she shivered, overcome by the weird feeling that someone was watching her. The constant stream of the water flowing around her body distracted her and she failed to notice another pair of eyes secretly watching her from the river bank. Reassured by the calm current and the secluded bank, she undressed, taking off her dress, and dove into the river for a refreshing swim. One evening at dusk, while fetching water, she departed from her usual habit and stood on the river bank watching the river current as of the sunset, seemingly hypnotized by the moving water. Every day she went to the river to get water to bring back to her family’s home. Rosita was a young indigenous girl of 18, who lived in a house near the banks of the mighty Amazon River. It is believed that in the evening, the River Dolphin can transform itself into a man, hypnotizing and seducing unsuspecting, young women. The Pink River Dolphin is the subject of an interesting legend in the Amazon.
