The translation of the article is the following:


"This story ... was compiled by the writer and investigator, Dora Fornaciari and published with other texts of myths and legends in the "Revista Patagónica".
This is the story in first person of an anonimous informant: 'My grandmother said that one time, up here, on the tip of the Mascardi, at the end of the Gutiérrez, there, on that shore, inwards, on the tip of the Mascardi, a very old man, who told that he had lost a dark colt, and was out looking for it, and one day, he said he was going along the coast, the shore of the lake, inwards, to see if he could find it, and he saw a colt, but dark, dark and it was tugging his colt... and it was like half-past eleven, and at that time the animals come out of the water to sunbathe, and he saw it there, but this dark colt didn't notice him. So he threw his lassoo at it, and caught it, and while it was on dry land it didn't pull with strength but as soon as it touched the water, he was dragging him in, into the deep water. And he had to cut the lassoo, he had no choice, because, who knows, the dark colt would have taken him. It was a real cuero.'
