It has red hair and backwards feet to confuse hunters.Saci Perere: a mischievous single-legged black elf-like creature who is blamed as the culprit of anything that goes wrong at a farm. The Saci is known as a trickster and usually appears in farms inside wind swirls. If someone steals its red cap he'll exchange it for a favour.At this scene we see a greed hunter trying to capture Sacis's hat at any cost. Curupira, the forest guardian, came in his rescue and will protect him even if it costs one of his hundred lives. The modern man is trying to kill and erase the centenial memories of our myths but we know that they are bigger than any ambition. They will live forever.It was more difficult to find the SOURCES than I expected at first. Not my best image but no doubt it was fun.Nesta cena nós podemos ver um caçador ambicioso tentando capturar a toca do Saci a qualquer custo. Curupira, o guardião da floresta veio para socorre-lo mesmo que isso custe uma de suas centenas de vidas. O homem moderno está tentando matar e apagar a memória de nossos mitos mas nós sabemos que eles são maiores que qualquer ambição. Eles viverão para sempre. ~Foi muito difÃcil encontrar as fontes que queria. Não é nem de perto minha melhor imagem mas sem dúvida foi a mais divertida. Boa sorte a todos.
Saci is a dark skinned, elf-like character who hops around on a single leg. He wreaks havoc wherever he goes and is often blamed when things go wrong around the house. He smokes a pipe and wears a magical red hat that enables him to disappear and reappear wherever he wishes. It's said that if you're able to steal his hat he'll grant you a wish as a trade for giving it back.PS. I know the view from this window couldn't actually exist... I incorporated a little artistic license :DGood luck to everyone!Saci é um personagem sombrio, esfolados elf-like que o lúpulo em torno de um único pé. Ele causa estragos por onde passa e muitas vezes é responsabilizado quando as coisas vão mal em casa. Ele fuma um cachimbo e usa um chapéu vermelho mágico que lhe permite desaparecer e reaparecer onde desejar. Ele disse que se você é capaz de roubar o chapéu que ele vai lhe conceder um desejo como um comércio para dar-lhe de volta. PS. Eu sei que o ponto de vista a partir desta janela pode não existir realmente ... eu incorporei um pouco de licença artÃstica :D Boa sorte a todos! sources
