The witch-doctor lived all by himself in the forests of Sequeiro Grande, in a ruined shack stuck off among the trees. It was only in cases of great emergency that anyone went to look for him there. He subsisted on the roots of trees and on wild-growing fruits. He knew how to cure bullet-wounds and snake-bites. In his shack the snakes ran around loose, and every one of them had its name just like a woman.
