Description:		Ashina: Ashina is a powerful witch who eats her own children. Eventually her husband leaves her because of this practice. She leaves one daughter uneaten so that she can eat her grandchildren. Eventually her son in law gets fed up with this. The community where Ashina lives gathers together to devise a way to kill her. They set a mud trap for her. When she falls into the mud trap, she turns into an armadillo. Her daughter flies up into heaven. Her diabolical experiments in her house, which included breeding mosquitos have no one to tend over them and they are spread all around the world.
		Nahuapaxahua: The saga of the cultural hero Nahuapaxahua. Contains a number of adventures of Nahuapaxahua, with the tapir, the caiman and others. First Nahuapaxahua runs into problems with the all-smelling tapir, who captures his wife. After this he escapes only to find himself trapped between the tapir and a river that he crosses with the help of a crocodile. After this we learn about the jochi people who get his son sick by having him drink chicha made of snot.
		Maina: The Maina are people who live in a civilization beneath the ground. The Maina killed the Chácobo by shooting them through the testicles or the clitoris for men and women respectively using the tiopi spade. After this they took them into their underground civilization and ate them. The Maina considered the Chácobo yahua (white lipped peccary) and hunted them as such. The story of the Maina is about how the Chácobo eventually defeated the Maina by finding the entrances to their underground villages and smoking them to death with fire.
		Yoshi Tashi: The story title literally means daemon Tashi, but is sometimes translated as Tashi the devil. The story of Tashi, a shaman who could bring people back from the dead. He lived in the late 19th century, and some Chácobo are direct descendents of him.
		Saninoa: There is a call for a party by a caiman man and the pacú fish. Everyone in the surrounding villages is invited to have chicha! A boat which grows with the entrance of each person carries the villagers to the party. But all is not as it seems as the boat is actually a giant anaconda full of caiman people.
		Shino joni manënina: A story about the genesis of mankind from pataju eating money to corn eating monkey, to human. Not all monkeys want to eat corn and become human and conflict ensues.
		yahua pahë: (description pending annotation)
		Jënë yoshini: The story of the water deamons, who lived on the river and eventually left because of the other people living there.
		Xahuë chani: more complete description pending annotation)
		Nohinihua: The the Boettger's caecilian's story: this is a version of the same story with a giant parasite instead of a snake.
		Xata chotanina: A traditional account of the origins of sexual relations between men and women. At first men and women did not have sexual inter-course. Rather, reproduction was carried out as follows. Men carried around a coconut shell with a penis-shaped hole in it strapped around their shoulder, and copulated with the coconut shell whenever they felt the urge. When the coconut shell was full of sperm it would be hung up by a hook inside their house three days after which a baby would hatch out. This swift method of reproduction caused overpopulation problems, which were eventually resolved when an ancient monkey from the jungle instructed the men how to copulate with their wives.
		Coquina: The story of the Curucussi is about a man who can transform into an insect (Curucussi). This man hunts during the night and as such other clans who are at war with Curucussi’s clan are at a disadvantage.
		The description of other folk stories is pending their annotation.
