I remember what my grandmother and my grandfather told me.

But in this case, once there was a smart man who held that what they came to do in our town was too much.

But what they noticed was that the dog did not eat the turkey's bones and feathers. Then the whole family was left puzzled because the dog wouldn't eat the bones nor the feathers.

Finally, when he wanted to die because he was hungry and because he had nothing, he got out a mirror while it was lightning.
