OF DUCKS AND OTHER FAUNOS (FAUNA SOCIAL) To Hippy, tenebrous palmpedo To Julian, ferocious plumfero Emilio Alberto Restrepo Baena the Ducks was very important personages within the life of the district. In the book of Antonio Mountain, " Social fauna Colombiana" they define them as strained, beings who without invitation infiltrated to all the sites where there was something to do or that to celebrate. Our Ducks, besides the previous one, had other connotations. Duck was not only the strained one, also was the sticky one, even the vague one. The Duck was in all. One of the characteristics define that it is opportunism. It always appears at the precise moment, when the car is going to leave, when they open the bottle of brandy ( guaro ), when they are going to serve sancocho or fritanga. On the contrary, always it disappears, like by magic art, when to pick up the quota (" to do vaca") or to pay the account.
He looks for to compensate his lack of economic contribution, trying to appear helpful, even servile. The Duck is very volunteered, even makes workings that others reject: load boxes, catch firewood furnaces, serve drink, make errands. Another characteristic of the Duck is that it does not generate much rejection. All the acolitamos, we even fomented its existence, because it is generally a type very good person, humorous, conversador pleasant and good friend. Without those characteristics it would not be Duck. Perhaps, if much, it would classify for I imitate of vulgar lizard, repulsive and much more annoying being. But no. The duck is fundamental within the fauna of the district. Nobody like him for the dirty work in the strolls, to give dark-brown graceful (to make the ridiculous situation miserably) when it is caught (copetn or farriado), under the effects of the marijuana (joined), or to serve simply as faithful company.
