Saci - Pererê: the king of florest!!!

In Brazil we've got a rich folklore and we can tell many stories for ours children. For example: about Saci - Pererê. He's a boy. What does Saci Like??? He' s black skin, he has a only leg and he wears a red beanie and short, he likes smoke a bong. He moves in a whirlpool.
He makes many tricks, such as, put salt in your coffee,
mosquitos puts in your soup, sour milk, and so on.
If you can see a Saci, you'll should catch him. You need a sieve and a bottle. If you see a whirlpool, you'll throw a sieve and catch Saci; Wait a moment and you see a Saci into the bottle.

Good Luck!!!
