Bubulcus Ibis.

"Cattle egret" is her common name.

They come from far away.

- From Africa.

- From Africa.

I dropped it and she ate it fast.

This is ready.

A great fish broth.

It's delicious, right?

She's looking for food.

And if she flies away?

Well, she'll go home.

For God's sake.

- Is it spicy?

- Yes, the sauce is spicy.

A little fish just jumped.

It jumped out to catch something.

Look, Daddy!

Watch out for the crocodiles.

Daddy, can I get my hair wet?

If Grandpa said you can,

go ahead.

Just be careful with the crocodiles.

Here comes one.

Come here.

Be careful of that crocodile.

It's getting near. It can eat you.

There he was hanging it out

while she was like this.

I saw your hand.

C'mon, watch it.

Look at the size of it.

It's dead.

Let's go, Daddy.

- We're going.

- He's your Daddy too, huh?

Oh, yeah, yours too.

Let's go, Daddy!

I guess the joke's on me.

You can put the rope over there.

She has stayed over there.

Blanquita will sleep there.

- Is it her?

- Yes.

It's no fair like that.

Let's see the scar?

It's fine.

Are you better?

- Yes or no?

- Yes.

Speak up then.

- You're okay?

- Yes.

A little head butt.

She's here!

Come here.

Come.

Come here, come here.

I told her to come

and she stepped on my foot.

She grabbed it fast.

I was pulling it back,

all she left was the bug's feet.

You're very fast, friend.

Want to come?

Slowly, son.

Slowly, boy. If you do it

like that, she gets scared.

You have to be gentle, it's a bird.

She's a wild bird

who lives with other birds.

We're too big for her.

Slowly.

That's right, like that.

Again.

Easy, slowly.

Very good.

- Get up, Blanquita.

- It's because of her leg.

Put your arm in front.

Without fear, it's all right.

Come up.

Up.

- I'll look for an insect.

- That's it, very good.

Go with Natan.

Up, Blanquita.

Get up, Natan won't harm you.

She walked on my leg.

Put out your arm, son.

Near her.

Get up, Blanquita.

She wants to get up on

the other one, Daddy.

Come over here, Blanquita.

I will put her here.

- This is how you throw it.

- Oh, like this?

You can do it like this.

Give it to me.

Thank you.

Check out this beautiful snapper.

A real beauty.

Here is another little one.

No, that's a big one.

See?

Well.

Am I learning or what?

You're getting very good at it, son.

I think I'm learning well, Dad.

It's all yours, son.

A gift from your friend.

Impossible.

Blanquita doesn't speak like that.

I was wrong.

It got cold.

It tastes bitter now.

It's very strong, right?

Very strong.

- I like my coffee strong.

- That's why you don't sleep.

Well, the coffee really

doesn't take my sleep away.

Me neither, I drink my coffee

every night before going to bed.

Me too.

Me too, when I'm with my buddies

we always have coffee.

But we drink it during the daytime

with the old guys.

With my buddies, the young guys.

What do you mean by young guys?

Are they your age?

If they are your age,

then that's not young anymore.

Yeah, that's not young anymore.

You have lived many springtimes.

You're not that young anymore.

Well, I'm still young at heart.

I don't feel old.

To feel old and be old

are different.

Like some guys who feel old.

Not me.

The only thing that's old

are the roads...

and we're still on them.

There was a white bird

which came by our house

and my son wants to see her again.

- Have you seen her around?

- Yesterday she was close by.

She must be over there somewhere.

Where we saw her.

And where we saw the crab too.

I heard her.

Yes, me too.

Shall we go and see?

Call her again, son.

Over there.

Everything okay?

There's no blood there.

Call her, she knows your voice.

Here, here.

I got it.

This slope is very...

this slope is very short.

Very good.

What's this, son?

Mangrove.

It looks like a mangrove,

doesn't it?

Well, that's a seed.

- Yeah?

- A seed from this little plant.

This little plant's seed.

Look, Natan.

Flowers.

Do you know what that's called?

Anacahuite.

White Siricote.

Like the one over there.

Are the green ones

the same as the white ones?

Yes, when they get older,

they will turn white.

- Like the one I see now.

- Exactly, like the one over there.

Soon you'll be flying to Rome

with Mommy.

And I'll be looking after you

wherever you are.

Doesn't matter what happens,

I'll be looking after you.

#I want to go to the sea,

even if it means I have to go walking #

#Walking #

#Walking #

#There's no,

there's no hurry to get there. #

Coffee with sugar?

Yes, son, you made it very strong.

Very strong.

You make it with no sugar.

Which one is mine?

This one.

I can drink three...

two more cups.

So stay sharp.

#Five stingrays, five stingrays #

#The crocodile's teeth #

#Two barracudas

because you caught two. #

Its other eye is on the other side.

The other.

Now I will draw its mouth.

The stingrays are gray,

aren't they?

The stingray has this color.

This color and so is its tail.

Some are like that, but there are

also some gray ones like you said.

And others that are brown

as Grandpa says.

Fish and then,

what else did we see?

The camera!

Sometimes it's tiring.

- It hurts.

- As people live.

It's about that too.

I'd like to visit a place

other than mine.

Get to know other people

different from us.

The palafitte.

I know how to do it.

Blanquita, flying with her wings.

And where is the color blue?

The color blue.

This...

small paper and this flower

will go to Italy or Mexico.

I can make big bubbles.

You want to make a big one?

Grab it.

- See how big it is.

- I'll do one.
