Los chiriguanos no conoc=EDan el papel.=20
Descubren el papel, la palabra escrita, la palabra impresa,
cuando los frailes franciscanos de Chuquisaca
aparecen en esta comarca, despu=E9s de mucho andar,
trayendo libros sagrados en las alforjas.
Como no conoc=EDan el papel, ni sab=EDan que lo necesitaban,
los indios no ten=EDan ninguna palabra para llamarlo.
Hoy ponen por nombre _piel de Dios_, porque
el papel sirve para enviar mensajes a los amigos
que est=E1n lejos.
