Sentado á la sombra en la orilla del río, cubierta la cabeza con un sombrero de paja de anchas alas ya bastante moreno por el uso, las piernas colgando, la caña de pescar tendida casi horizontalmente á poca altura del agua, el bueno de Chaviri se pasaba las horas muertas, esperando que algún pez picase en su anzuelo.
