Hello @kutyozh​! I was your Secret Santa for @langblrsecretsanta2021​, and since you said you were interested in/studying Aymara, I thought that I would give you a gift related to that. This is a scan of a comic from Literatura aymara: antología, compiled by Xavier Albó and Félix Layme; the comic itself was drawn by Moshó for the Proyecto Bilingüe de Puno in Peru and is based on a traditional story. I’ve transcribed it below, including the original Aymara, the Spanish translation from the book, and my own English translation of the Spanish for non-Spanish speakers who are interested. Hope it’s helpful and/or enjoyable, and best of luck with your studies! MANQ’AT JIWAT QAMAQI • EL ZORRO MUERTO DE HAMBRE • THE STARVING FOX—¡Kamisaraki k’usillu!
