One afternoon, in the early 50’s, while I was still in the
primary grades, there was a sudden commotion between the ‘kiosko’ of the Roman
Catholic Church and the public central school.
They were shouting ‘dwende’
It seemed that only the children and woman saw the little
creature coming from the concrete stairs of the school. Several hundreds of the residents were around
the school compound and the church yard.
The children were apprehensive that the old folks might step on the tiny
people. From what the children said, the
dwarfs were laughing at the old people who could not see them.
At present, the school was no more even if the building
still exists. It was turned in a
commercial area. The school authorities
were unable to establish ownership of the land.
Also, until this time, no similar incidents happen. Nobody knows if they leave the place.
