The grandfather reached the cave. As he approached it, he heard the sounds of cats. 654
Sola asked him not to open the cave so that the wild cats wouldn't come out.
Grandfather: How did you know there were wild cats?
Sola the Wild: I lived with them. They know me well. I'm their friend.
Grandfather: So you're starting to remember your story.
Sola the Wild: When I get close to the cats, my wildness goes away.
Grandfather: Remember what happened to you.
Sola the Wild: The owner of the palace threw me into this cave and took my children. 655
Grandfather: Do you remember their names?
Sola the Wild: Siyili and Vizela. 656
Grandfather moved away from Sola and sat crying and screaming, "Your children lived with me, and now they're not with me. They've left me."
I'm afraid they'll live a life like the one you lived.
The cats' sounds subsided. Perhaps they've disappeared. Sola the Wild was screaming, "You damned cat! You've ruined my life."
Grandfather approached her and said, "What do you mean?" With the cat 657
Sola the wild: It's the wild cat that crosses continents
Grandfather: Where can I find her?
Sola the wild: She has flying eyes
Grandfather, I'll open the cave door. The grandfather entered the cave carrying a lamp but didn't find any cat there.
He asked Sola the wild to enter the cave and said to her: There's no one inside. 658
Sola the wild entered the cave screaming and meowing like a cat. The grandfather covered his ears from the woman's screams.
Sola the wild fell to the ground and held the ground until she fell asleep. 659
