It was difficult time in the land without evil of the Guarani, the indigenous communities were very convulsed, constant struggles were provoked daily, to the side of the Parana River was the village of Cacique Azucapè, father of a beautiful woman named Ariete.
Ariete a lovely young man, very nice and affectionate, loved by the whole village, much sought after by the young Indians, she kept distant from love, spent her days knowing the jungle.
Before the sun came out, she would finish with her obligations, she would eat breakfast and go into the thicket, she would walk up to a very high jump to be the first to receive the first rays of light from the sun god, which she loved to control living things Of the jungle, plants, flowers, took notes of each encounter and symbolized with a small drawing, had drawings of animals, insects, birds.
The animals walked behind the young woman in company, the birds dedicated beautiful melodies with their songs making the girl's stay in the jungle more pleasant, the trees giving their shadows to the beautiful woman.
These wanderings Azucapè was very worried his father, were times of wars between villages, she would be an easy target for any enemy, he spoke with the young woman but Ariete was in full adolescence, at that age is not afraid of anything and are very haughty, She ignored her father's recommendations.
One morning Ariete, ignoring what fate had prepared for her, that morning he was going to meet his father's worst enemy, walked through the alleyways of the jungle he met a burly man with good-looking brown skin, this one said he said Called Pochi, Ariete very confident his put to talk with him, they talked about many issues, he asked her name and she answered his name is Ariete, there the chief Pochi knew that he was the daughter of his worst enemy, this man fell in love with The young woman in the first moment he saw her.
The warrior Pochi, long wanted to invade the lands of Azucapè, but always avoided, was well known for being a great warrior.
The cruel destiny had cast the fate of this family, the warrior Pochi had a reason to invade the lands of Azucapè, the beautiful Ariete. At dawn, when everyone slept, Pochi very stealthily entered the hut of Azucapè and ended his life, he knew that it was the only way to kill the brave Azucapè, then entered the hut where Ariete lived and took her captive.
Victorious Pochi became content to his village with the most precious good, the beautiful Ariete, Pochi was much feared for his treacherous form of attack, betrayal was always his way to conquer the land, never won a contest by giving long struggles, a skilled treacherous.
Pochi made a big party to present in society the beautiful young woman the daughter of his worst enemy Azucapè, announce the young woman as his new wife, I request everyone to respect the young woman.
The days passed, the cacique was falling more and more in love with the young woman, one day proposed marriage to Ariete.
The girl refused flatly, could not accept the murderer of her father as husband, before accepting marriage would rather die.
The young woman's denial of much anger To Pochi, she did not know how to convince him to agree to be his wife.
The murderous warrior apologized for how things were, tried to change the story of how the events happened, the skillful liar created a story.
When I met you in the forest I fell madly in love with you, I made the decision to find you in your village, mistakenly enter your father's hut, he found me inside and we braided in a fight, I have no choice but to defend myself and give Death to your father, said Pochi, that's how things went, please give me an opportunity to remedy things, to love you until the day of my death, Pochi very skillful to invent stories, I did not know the gift that young Ariete had, See in dreams the events happened, in his dreams he could see the truth of things, saw how meekly lost his father's life in the hands of this treacherous murderer. He repeated his words again, before marrying the treacherous murderer of my father I prefer death, this reply I take the demon inside Pochi.
Thinking Pochi replied, because of your rebellion and your immaturity you will have the worst death that a human being desires, you will be devoured by the yacaré of the stream, you will make torn whole and slowly, you will suffer what your father did not suffer.
If that is your happiness, you will never have my love and my body, before I surrender to you, I prefer the sharp teeth of the yacare, these words condemned Ariete to the worst of human sacrifices.
The evil Pochi acts with hands and feet to the beautiful young woman and throws to the stream of the stream to be devoured by the hungry yacare.
Like every tyrannical government there are always discontented people, this village would be no exception, an Indian who did not share the way of governing Pochi, was always attentive to the actions of the evil boss, this brave warrior named Pexoa quietly followed the footsteps of Pochi And saw where I threw the living body of the beautiful young woman and prepared to give battle to the brave yacaré to remove the body of Ariete.
Pochi returned with a group of Indians to witness the cruel sacrifice, the instant the Indian Pexoa rescued the young woman from the claws of the most feared predator of the yacaré, when he noticed the situation Pexoa lies on the great Ariete crosses over to the other side of the stream, running the young woman on the body of the Indian giant receives an arrow in its thin and thin body falling dead in the waters of the creek, forming a large red ring of blood in The waters of the great ditch.
Pochi, furious with the Indian who defied his authority, threw an ax into his broad back, killing the brave Indian.
The Indian Pexoa remained dead on the earth floor joining both coasts as if it were a bridge.
The indigenous witnesses of this massacre wept painfully the death of the Indian Pexoa and that of the beautiful young woman Ariete.
For the bravery the Tupa, the God of the Guarani prizes Pexoa to live forever on the land with his indigenous brothers, made it a bridge in the place of his death and Ariete in the swirling waters that lives under the bridge Pexoa.

The bridge Pexoa and its swirling waters lived together forever sealing a beautiful friendship, the bridge served to unite in peace for both peoples, share the services of the bridge and the waters of the stream an arm of the river Paraná, Tourist beach and every year there are many drowned who defy the currents of the waters, say the ancients that it is Ariete, takes his brothers to not remain alone in the place.
Today it is one of the most crowded campsites in my city, its waters are very dangerous and it takes many lives of the daring who defy the power of the waters.
