This history happened to my mother and my uncle like 25 years ago. One night, while my mother and my uncle were walking to their home after go the high school, when they began to cross a bridge, my mother saw a lovely dog in the middle of this bridge and she said "what a cute dog", but my uncle immediately said "it isn´t a good dog, it is Copito, an evil dog". Then, they were so scared of the dog and also they couldn´t cross the bridge because of the dog. My uncle threw some stones to the dog, but Copito started to grow and grow! after some long minutes of this situation, Copito ran away and they ran to their home. For me this history is an urban legend but this happened to my mother, so sometimes I think that could be true, but I´m not sure of that.
In this link I found more information about Copito and other urban legends.
Thanks for passing on that link--it's got some interesting stuff!
ResponderEliminarAlso, for a vocabulary pointer: if you throw something TO someone, it's usually like giving it to them to use. Here, it sounds like your uncle threw rocks AT Copito. For example:
-My performance was so great that people threw roses to me.
-My performance was so bad that people threw eggs at me.
Haha!
