But she did not sleep with him again. When he asked her why, she said that there was no night, so they could not sleep together. She said that her father, the Big Cobra, kept the secret of the night at home, in the edge of the Big River. And he ought to go there and take it. The warrior, very jealous, wanted not to be away from his wife. So he sent the three servants there. They went along the big river rowing and seeking the Big Cobra. They found him and he gave them the coconut called Tucum� that hided the secret of the night. But he said to the three servants not to open it. There was so much noise inside the coconut. The noise of the night: frogs croaking and crickets trilling.
