The Huáncar A long time ago there was a man coming back home after his work when he suddenly saw lights from the mountain “Huancar”. He wanted to know what was happening there so he went up. On top of the “Huancar” there was a "gaucho"-a local inhabitant. The gaucho offered a drink called "mate" and they started to talk. The “gaucho” invited the man down to his house. When they arrived home the man was shocked to see the furniture of that house - it was all made of gold! The man asked the gaucho: “how did you get those objects?” and the gaucho answered:“I am the devil”. The devil said to the man that if he wanted money he would have to come to the mountain the following day at midnight. The following day, the man was anxiously waiting for midnight. When it was almost time to go, he decided to climb the mountain. There, the devil gave him all the money that he wanted but on one conditio: he had to bring a white chicken to the devil every day. Two weeks later the man was completely different: he bought a lot of luxury objects; better clothes and also he re-decorated his house. Also, he fell in love with a woman of the town. One day at night, the devil visited the man´s house; “why did you stopp bringing me the chickens?” the devil groaned . “Because I have all that I want”, the man answered. The devil threatened: "If you forget to bring one chicken again, I will take all your luxurious things away!" Three days later, as the man was completely lost in love , he forgot to take the chickens to the devil. One day at night, the man had a great surprise: the woman that he loved was the devil himself. The devil said that he would take all his things away because he hadn’t obeyed him. The following day the man was having lunch when all his things suddenly disappeared.
